infinite loop in subversion client

Good morning,

there was some discussion about timeouts during commits a while ago.
What was the result, is there a fix? This does happen with 0.17 and
0.26.
I believe the commits happen in a local network.

           Summary: infinite loop in subversion client
           Product: SuSELinux
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Linux

 
From time to time it happens to my client that he times out on committing data. This also
happened with earlier versions and I don't consider it a bug. Afterwards the data is actually
committed on the server, but the client believes it is not. This is not a big issue, as I can just
do an update on the client to "merge" the stuff into client space.
 
Today it happened to me that on merging a big file on this way, subversion ran into an endless
loop. strace has shown that no syscalls are used in this situation, but something purely
arithmetic must be done.
 
After half an hour of operation I interrupted svn and wanted to do a svn cleanup. The same
problem occured. I had to do a fresh checkout to make the client space working again.

I even don't know, whether it is reproducable. I understand that it is most likely not fixable
without information about how to reproduce, but I just wanted to state the problem here for the
case someone experienced similar problems.
