Description

When LANG=C, a check-out of a ~450MB working copy fails with the following error
messages after about 2/3 of the files:

svn: E155009: Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with
'$HOME/C8-32-C-serf/CCS/db/src', work item 9694 (file-install
CCS/db/src/dbBackupSingleAttr.c 1 0 1 1)
svn: E000012: Can't create a character converter from 'UTF-8' to native encoding

This happens with a 32-bit 1.8.0 client running on a 64-bit Linux machine.

It seems that the client is out of memory, because I occasionally get core dumps
instead of the above error message.
