Bug#368751: subversion: segfaults on status -u

[Martin Stolle]

Package: subversion
Version: 1.3.1-3
Severity: normal



I am not quite sure what triggers this.  In general status -u seems to work,
but right now there seems to be a particular new directory in our repo
that breaks status -u:

Maybe the backtrace will help?
