Description

The current Trac 1.0.2 version segfaults when accessing files from SVN to export
them. Between Trac 1.0.1 and Trac 1.0.2 the python code for accessing files was
modified and it seems this change triggers the segfault in python bindings for
SVN. Some Stacktraces are included in original report and also a detailed
analysis in our report to mod_wsgi (see below) which very likely was the wrong
target. All analysis till now indicates that it is a issue with the python
bindings of SVN.

Trac has a workaround now, but the original bug should be fixed as well

Follow up issue to following:
http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/11805

It's not a wsgi issue as initially thought, nevertheless here the report for
reference (detailed analysis inside):
https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/issues/55

My installed SVN veriosn: 1.8.8-1ubuntu3.1 Other testers may have different
versions running.
