While dumping a subversion repository svnadmin intermittently segfaults (I'd estimate 1 in 3 times). After seeing this problem a number of times I installed subversion-dbg and gdb to debug. Below is a stack trace of the failure. I've reproduced this problem using the same repository on multiple systems.

This is the failure I see most often...

I believe this trace is the same/related failure, except it is at a different revision in the repository and it fails this way far less often.
