I have compiled subversion in maintainer mode, enabled neon logging to
stderr and then manually generated the base64 encoded password and
compared its length to the number of xxxes in the dumped header. Lo and
behold, the Authorization header generated by neon contained 4 xes less
than the one I manually generated.

Sure enough, changing my password to one 5 chars long (the initial one
has 9 characheres) made subversion happy.

So neon needs its base64 encoding fixed.

Cheers,
florin
