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.

Regards,
Enrico
