Description

Maillist thread: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-02/0576.shtml

The SVN Perl (swig-bindings) Error Handler can cause a Bus Error on what should be a correct usage.

eg. This will succeed:

sub error_handler_ls_croak() { 
   my $lsvn_error_t = $_[0]; 

   $lsvn_error_t -> message(); 
   SVN::Error::croak_on_error($lsvn_error_t); 
} 

This will fail:

sub error_handler_ls_croak() { 
   my $lsvn_error_t = $_[0]; 

   $lsvn_error_t -> message(); 
   SVN::Error::ignore_error($lsvn_error_t); 
} 

A script to test this is attached to http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-02/1154.shtml.

Using this script is described in that mail also.  In addition to that is this information:

Down the bottom of the script are 4 alternate sub calls.  The ones that work start with 'works_' and 
those that don't start with 'aintwork_'.
