Actually, gstein, jerenkrantz, and myself discussed this at OSCON, and 
came up with a way to make it work without apr threads, something about 
requiring us to pick up the python interpreter lock when entering 
subversion code if we don't have threads turned on in apr (since all 
subversion calls are potentially not thread safe in that case).

I don't think anyone has gotten around to implementing this, but it 
seems like this problem can be made to go away in the near future.
