Ah, yes. That's the problem. Subversion's use of BDB flat-out doesn't
work on HPUX, because we open multiple "sessions" to the repository.
That means you're only really safe using the svn client on HPUX, as long
as it only accesses svn:// and http:// network URLs. Nothing which
links to libsvn_fs, such as mod_dav_svn, svnserve, svnadmin, svnlook, or
ra_local.
