I took another computer "arieh-3", with 2.4.18-1-k7. And the testcase 
worked.

I downgraded back, and again got Segmentation Fault.

So, looks as the problem is in libsvn0 1.2.3dfsg1-3 on this particular 
computer (arieh-1).
On other computer (arieh-2) with the same version (I even compared 
md5sums) it works.

The computers have different filesystems (reiserfs and ext3), but 
computer (arieh-3) has ext3 (under 2.4.18).
To my sorrow, I don't have another computer, similar to arieh-1 with 
kernel 2.4.27 and ext3 filesystem.
