+*** GNU/Linux: Truncated svn annotate output with SSH.
+http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7791
+
+The symptoms are: you are accessing a svn repository over SSH.
+You use vc-annotate on a large (several thousand line) file, and the
+result is truncated around the 1000 line mark.  It works fine with
+other access methods (eg http), or from outside Emacs.
+
+This may be a similar libc/SSH issue to the one mentioned above for CVS.
+A similar workaround seems to be effective: create a script with the
+same contents as the one used above for CVS_RSH, and set the SVN_SSH
+environment variable to point to it.

 *** GNU/Linux: On Linux-based GNU systems using libc versions 5.4.19 through
 5.4.22, Emacs crashes at startup with a segmentation fault.
