accessing older file revisions from branches

Hello,

recently I had to do a diff between two file revisions:
revision 1: (after the initial import)
and revision (say) 200: which now resides in a branch)

svn diff -r 1:200 test.cpp

svn: RA layer request failed
svn: REPORT request failed on /repos/branches/new_stuff
svn: The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse
error at line 1: xmlParseStartTag: invalid element name
.. (/repos/branches/new_stuff)

APACHE2 log:
[Thu Jan 30 13:42:16 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] (17)File exists:
file not found: transaction `7i', path `/branches/new_stuff'
[404, #160013]

svn cat -r 1 test.cpp:

svn: RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND of /repos/!svn/bc/1/branches/new_stuff/test.cpp: 404 Not Found

APACHE2 log:
[Thu Jan 30 13:42:16 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] A failure
occurred during the completion and response
generation for the update report. [404, #160013]

svn cat -r 200 test.cpp:

OK, I'll get a correct revision.

I can retrieve every version after the branch was made, but anything
prior to it
gives me an error.

If I try to access older revisions of the file from the 'trunk', I am
not having
a problem. Accessing revison 1 of the mentioned file gives the correct
output.

I am using version 0.17.1-0 (debian) both on client and server.
Apache 2.0.44-5, db4.1.24-3, neon 0.23.6-1

Regards,
Petr
