Sounds like a good guess.

This part of libsvn_ra_dav is parsing an <update-report> coming from
the server, in particular, the <open-directory> tag. The xml "name"
attribute is not optional in the report language... so either the
report is very messed up, or the server truncated something.

What we need from you is:

 1. a reproduction recipe, if possible

 2. an ethereal trace of the http session, so we can see the xml in
    the protocol. (Make sure that you set "http-compression" to "no"
    in your ~/.subversion/servers file before doing the capture.)
