It looks like a memory leak. The client fails to allocate memory when setting up charset translation. I would say the LC_CTYPE issue is a red herring. There is some other problem that makes the client run out of memory. Michael, does this only happen with ra_serf? Can you please test with svn://, or svn+ssh://, or file:// access?
