But for that to be useful you need a svn executable built with debugging info. This can be done by building the port with CFLAGS having the '-g' option and STRIP set to null, so you don't lose that info while installing. (deinstall svn first) e.g.: cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion && env CFLAGS="-g" STRIP="" make install Then try to reproduce the error and run gdb. Once in gdb use the command 'bt' to get a backtrace.
