Corrupt text file

Hi,

While doing some merge-related testing, I stumbled into
a text file that had gone corrupt. The signs of
corruption are:

1) A 0x0B char followed by two slashes appeared twice in
a line that I added, the corrupt line looks like:

// 0x3b// svn150devtest3-branch mod #1 0x3b//

2) Two null bytes were appended to the end of the file

The whole scenario was:
- create a fsfs repo
- using TSVN, import a std VC 6 project into it
- using TSVN, checkout the trunk
- using TSVN, create a branch
- using TSVN, checkout the branch
- modify a file in the branch (as discussed above)
- using TSVN, check-in the branch (this is the step were
the corruption occurred)
- using TSVN, merge from branch to trunk

Since we have a self-compiled 150-dev subversion on the
server side, my guesses tend to fall into that direction
(even though the subversion test-suite succeeded, except
for one blame-related test). But anyhow, _any_
ideas/experiences about what might be causing this, are
most certainly gladly received.

Rgds,
Mika
