Re: "Checksum mismatch" error is misleading

It sounds like you are having some local network or memory corruption
problems. I can run these commands just fine:

  svn cat -r14913 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/www/project_links.html
  svn diff -r14912:14913 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk

The output is as expected for me.

Yes, that would be ideal. If you build Subversion with debugging, it
will give you the place in source where the error occurred, which is
usually a big help. Have you tried that?
