bzr failed to import large SVN repository

[Stephen Bevan]

I've successfully managed to import some small SVN branches into bzr
but when I tried importing one that consists of around 11,000 files
and containing 17,000+ commits then bzr ran for about 20 minutes
(during which time the process size bloated out to over 1GB) and then
produced the following output.  I'm sending it because the script asks
me to and it may be of some help to the bzr-svn developers rather than
because I need a fix.   The same SVN repository imports into git
quickly and without any incident so I'll just continue to use git for
this repository.

$ bzr branch http://stephen.local/svn/projects/all main
