Yes, this is a problem with apache itself (mod_dav), which I've been
working on. It can't scale to huge directory listings well. Apache
isn't streaming back the directory listing; it's building up 1141 XML
entries in memory first, thus the client timeout.

Look for a fix in 0.24, hopefully, assuming we can get the httpd-2.1
fixes backported to httpd-2.0.
