It seems that there is already a report present at http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3475 for this issue. The revision for the fix however seems to not match the revision on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/.
Can you tell me how to find out what was changed and if the patch is already included in one of the later subversion releases?

Please go ahead and file a bug report at http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/, so that we don't forget about it.
