I've made a change to regression.py that should eliminate the crash, 
although it may not detect the revision for non-English versions. I 
didn't change to the svnrevision command because I was concerned that 
it's problems with Unicode names would come back to bite us.

I'll make a more permanent fix as soon as I know a bit more. Could you 
please run these two svn commands on your working directory, and let me 
know what the output is:

   svn info .
   svn info --xml .

Thanks,
