I think the backtrace led me in the correct direction, as it was
segfaulting in libgnutls. I checked when libgnutls was last updated, and
it was yesterday.
I checked the changelog:
gnutls26 (2.4.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* [CVE-2008-4989.diff] Fix man in the middle attack for certificate
verification. CVE-2008-4989 GNUTLS-SA-2008-3

And indeed, this is the culprit. If I revert to version 2.4.2-1, the
crashes in subversion are gone.
I don't know the code, so I'm not sure if this is a bug in subversion or
gnutls, so If CCed Andreas, maybe he can comment on this and if this bug
should be reassigned to gnutls.
Cheers,
Michael
