Here we are:

  $ git svn fetch
  error: git-svn died of signal 11

This is reproductible in most of my repositories based on a remote
subversion server.

Examples:
#1

  $ cd okawix
  $ cat .git/config
  <...>
  [svn-remote "svn"]
    url = https://okawix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/okawix
    fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn

  $ git svn fetch

  $

#2

  $ cd plume-cms
  $ cat .git/config
  <...>
  [svn-remote "svn"]
    url = https://pxsystem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pxsystem
    fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
  $ git svn fetch
  error: git-svn died of signal 11
  $


_But_ git-svn works as expected in the gccgo repository for example:

  $ cd gccgo
  $ cat .git/config
  <...>
  [svn-remote "svn"]
    url = svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gccgo
    fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
  $ git svn fetch
  $

Adding the -d option to the shebang of git-svn doesn't help. I've
stopped the process after 24 minutes running.  I have no more
information with the -w option set.

For repositories where it works, the debug option works as expected too:

  $ cd gccgo
  $ git svn fetch
  Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.28
  Editor support available.
  Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.
  
  main::(/home/nicolas/bin/libexec/git-core/git-svn:10):
  10: $AUTHOR = 'Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>';
    DB<1> c
  Debugged program terminated.  Use q to quit or R to restart,
  <...>
  $

What shall I do next?
