When Subversion is configured with the '--enable-runtime-module-search' option,
then segmentation faults occur during some operations when BDB repositories are
accessed. This problem might be related to pool lifetime. This problem exists
at least in Subversion 1.5.*, 1.6.* and trunk.
$ svnadmin create --fs-type bdb repo
$ svn co file:///$(pwd)/repo wc
Segmentation fault

Output from GDB:
$ gdb --args svn co file:///$(pwd)/repo wc
