gutsy: svn crashed with SIGSEGV in abort_trail() (libdb4.4 related)

Binary package hint: subversion

The update of libdb4.4 in gutsy-updates now causes a segmentation fault when trying to checkout a bdb subversion repository.

This happens on this code in abort_trail():
      SVN_ERR(BDB_WRAP(fs, "aborting Berkeley DB transaction",
                       trail->db_txn->abort(trail->db_txn)));

So, while bdb repositories where not working in Gutsy before this update (4.4.20-8.1ubuntu3), they are now broken differently.

I've investigated a bit (and found it strange that libdb4.2 is listed in the dependencies in the apport report), but removing the libdb4.2 package still caused it to fail in the same way.

TEST CASE:
1. cd /tmp
2. svnadmin create --fs-type bdb test-repo
3. svn co file:///tmp/test-repo wc

EXPECTED RESULT:
checked out revision 0

ACTUAL RESULT:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This appears not to be a problem in Hardy or Feisty.
