Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8' - subversion 1.5.1 with apache 2.03 on linux

From: Steve Whitson <steven.whitson_at_gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm still struggling with this problem (previous subject of 'Valid UTF-8
data ... followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence'). Anyone have any ideas?

I've googled for UTF-8 problems and none seem to deal with a fresh
repository and the exact situation I'm encountering.

This message documents another configuration, using apache 2.0.63
instead of 2.0.55. Using the newer apache server I came up with
slightly different error messages.

Again, this is on a CentOS linux system working with clean builds of
apache 2.0.63 and subversion 1.5.1. I'm working with new repositories.
The errors are not encountered when going through svnserve, only when
going through apache. Oddly enough the commits succeed, although the
error is definitely cause for concern. Is there something in apache I
need to configure to inform the subversion modules to use en_US UTF-8 by
chance?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
