Microsoft Word files are *binary* files.  Older .doc files are Microsofts 
propriatory format and .docx files are .zip archives containing .xml and other 
things.  You can't do a diff on these files.  svn diff only makes sense on 
*plain text files*, like C/C++ source code.  Word processing files are not 
plain text, really.  Even OpenOffice / LibreOffice word processing files are 
not plain text.  If you want to use subversion and do source code management 
of documentation, you should be using something like LaTeX or SMGL or groff 
files. 

Subversion probably should not be crashing though, but that is a different 
issue.
