Bug Description
Ubuntu 16.04, subversion 1.9.3-2ubuntu1
I have an SVN repository that has an svn:external that is relative to the root of the repository using the ^/ syntax. For example:
^/test.txt test2.txt
With this type of external, I'm running into a bug: I can't use svn export if I specify a particular svn revision with the -r option to the svn command. For example, if I type this command:
svn export -r 4 /home/doug/
It prints out the following error, and then crashes:
svn: /build/
Aborted (core dumped)
If I remove the -r 4 option, it doesn't crash and everything works perfectly.

FYI, I reported this bug upstream a few days after reporting it here, and it has been fixed, but not released yet. It will be released in an upcoming version of Subversion 1.9.x. It would be great if the fix could be backported to 16.04. The fix is in these two commits:
