+
+<p>Building Subversion 1.7.0 and APR 1.4.5 from source on 64-bit RHEL2
+with the standard compiler will produce executables that SEGV on
+startup.  This problem is likely to affect all 64-bit x86 platforms
+that use gcc 4.0.x or older.  This is due to APR bug
+<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51851";>51851</a>.
+Workarounds include using a more recent gcc or configuring APR
+with <tt>--disable-nonportable-atomics</tt>.</p>

+
+<p>The JavaHL bindings have moved to the org.apache.subversion
+namespace (what is the correct Java term?) with org.tigris.subversion
+provided as a compatibility layer.  Using the compatibility namespace
+will cause the JVM to SEGV when SVNAdmin or SVNClient objects are
+finalized.  See the 1.7.0
