It wasn’t this way a month or two ago when I used it last.

But I tried just now and it’s pretty bad.  Trying to check out
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head segfaults after a thousand or so
items (not always at the same point).   Of course, gdb doesn’t
seem to be able to make any sense of the core file:

$ gdb /usr/bin/svnlite
...
(gdb) core svnlite.core
… loading many symbols ...
(gdb) bt
#0  0x0008dbac in ?? ()
(gdb)

…

Trying to “run update” from inside GDB immediately hits
SIGILL in _rtld_get_stack_prot()
