Not sure why, but sometimes svnserve segfaults when it runs via
xinetd.  It turns out to be highly repeatable for specific svn
transactions/commands.  Ie:

 svn merge -c 2454 . ../../branches/3.4/src

causes the segfault, but another svn command works fine (I had just
done a number of commits).  I've seen it happen with svn update as
well, so it doesn't seem specific to merge.

Not really sure why, but here is what I'm getting in /var/log/messages:

Apr 18 04:51:59 lagavulin kernel: svnserve[28484]: segfault at
b786f2fc ip b7503814 sp bfd4b6e0 error 4 in
libsasl2.so.2.0.22[b74f4000+18000]
Apr 18 04:51:59 lagavulin xinetd[2797]: EXIT: svn signal=11 pid=28484
duration=0(sec)

Note the same command works find when svnserve runs as a daemon.  I am
using SASL auth, but 9/10 times it works just fine.

client is OSX/x86 10.6.3, svn v1.6.9 and v1.6.11
server is Linux (CentOS 5.3/x86), svn v1.6.9

Anyways, problem has seem to gone away after switching to daemon mode,
so I don't need anyone to fix my problem, but figured a bug report was
warranted.
