Subversion is still in development and has not yet released the first
stable version. See http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#stable

"Is Subversion stable enough for me to use for my own projects?

This indicates that you have a BerkelyDB version mismatch. Have you
managed to link mod_dav_svn against db-3.2.9 (I don't think this is
possible)? More likely, do you have apache linked against db-3.2.9?
Subversion requires you to use db-4.0.14, see section 6 in INSTALL.
