Hi,
Here is the backtrace:
Thanks for backtrace, it helped a lot. The problem was that the tagmanager part in Geany tried to write a file in the root of the drive Geany is executed on (on Windows, on Linux it just uses /tmp). But it seems your unprivileged user doesn't have permission to write there and so the file couldn't be created and Geany crashed. This should be fixed in SVN r2000. I changed the path where the file is written to Geany's configuration directory which should in almost every case be writable and even if not, Geany won't crash anymore. So, this isn't a Windows-only issue it could also happen on Linux if /tmp is not writable but I guess there are only a few systems if ever where this is the case.
A new Windows binary can be found at http://www.uvena.de/tmp/geany_svnr2000_win32_bin.zip. Maybe I'll put a full installer online for the current SVN version.
Furthermore, I'll check whether we could remove this status file at all but for the moment I'm not yet sure.
