Hello again, The problems appear starting with the version of subversion in Ubuntu 13.10 (version 1.7.9 along with 1.8.4). If I go back to Ubuntu 13.04 (version 1.7.5), the problems disappear. I was able to create a new dump. However, it crashes in the same way when loading in Ubuntu 13.10.
Could this be a bug in the more recent versions? On Sat, Nov 2, 2013 at 2:06 AM, Vincent QB <vincen...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > 0. I've updated to Ubuntu 13.10 recently.
