I've gotten this error before running eclipse, but it was usually a random thing.

I reproduce the bug by importing a project. I tried emerging apr-0.9.7 without any change in behavior.
Mystery solved. The project that I was importing used subversion, so this triggered my subclipse plugin. As subclipse was pre-1.0, this caused a conflict with subversion 1.3.1 resulting in the crash.
