Bug#401340: Fwd: [PATCH] segmention fault. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Core.pm line 410 during global destruction.

[Peter Samuelson]

This bug on svn 1.4.2 was reported to the Debian bug tracker,
http://bugs.debian.org/401340:

[Jari Aalto]

He provides a patch, but it looks to me as though it fixes a symptom
rather than the real bug.
