This isn't the right command to use, because addr2line (unlike gdb) 
doesn't follow .gnu_debuglink pointers, so you need to point it directly 
at the detached debug symbols from the svn-debuginfo package, i.e. 
'addr2line -e /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/svn.exe.dbg 0x200c0250 0x2009ee70 
0x2009f6d8'

But I'm afraid this probably still doesn't tell you anything useful, 
because the exception isn't occurring in svn.exe, but somewhere else.

In fact, the addresses in the backtrace look like they are in the heap, 
so it doesn't look like the stackdump unwinder has managed to record 
much useful information.
