httpd dies on svn checkout

Hello,

I've build succesfully subversion, apache, neon, etc from source, properly
linked together. Once i tried it from subversion source and its deps
package, once all from scratch, without the deps package.

In both cases I can normally browse my repository via web access, however,
doing a checkout over http results in a silent crash of the httpd child that
is handing the request.

root@HS-DHGL900:~/tmp_svn# svn co http://127.0.0.1/svn/repos/site
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos/site'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/repos/site': Could not read chunk size: connection
was closed by server. (http://127.0.0.1)

Setting apache to something more verbose does not result in any more verbose
logging related to this crash, so I'm a bit in the dark here...

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. How can I proceed troubleshooting in
the most effective way?

thanks,

pieter
