Ah, this message:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=74282&listName=dev

Ooooh, that's a pretty bad bug.  We didn't have an issue filed for it,
it somehow slipped through the cracks, sorry.  I've just created one:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=712

I don't know if this bug is related to that comment above, but anyway,
it needs to get fixed.  Will talk with Mike Pilato and Ben C-Suss here
about scheduling it for sooner rather than later :-).
