Thanks for the tip, I may yet have to do that...what svk feature/command 
triggers the crash?

Can't see anything obvious on the bug tracker:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=SVK

I untarred that in /usr/local and symlinked svk from /usr/local/bin but I 
get an error:
svk --version

perl: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/local/svk-v2.0.2/perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: 
Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr


*But* that did remind me that this was a recently installed system, never 
had svk installed before and thus none of the dependencies. So I installed 
all the dependencies the sid package needs and tried to compile svk from 
source again (one of the first things I did).

This time I was successful, and have just done update, commit and pulled to 
a mirror without problems. If smerge works I'm sorted :)
