On a FreeBSD 8.2/amd64 box, if I build svn using the serf RA library, I get an assertion fail (and core dump) when accessing a particular remote repository. When I recompile svn using neon, I do not get this error:
[root@yertle]# svn ls http://svn.redports.org/virtualbox Assertion failed: (svn_fspath__is_canonical(parent_fspath)), function svn_fspath__is_child, file subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c, line 2467.
