"make check" failures

I'm getting a whole lot of failures when doing "make check" on rev 6839 in
preparation for the upcoming 0.28.0 release on RedHat 9.0:

+ echo '*** Running regression tests on RA_LOCAL (FILE SYSTEM) layer ***'

Here is the pertinent information on the first test that fails from
tests.log:

START: basic_tests.py
CMD: svnadmin "create" "local_tmp/repos" "--bdb-txn-nosync" <TIME =
2.886506>
CMD: svn "import" "--username" "jrandom" "--password" "rayjandom" "-m"

Errors during initial 'svn import':
ACTUAL STDERR:
svn: Malformed file
svn:

EXCEPTION: SystemExit(1), skipping cleanup
FAIL: basic_tests.py 1: basic checkout of a wc
END: basic_tests.py

It almost feels like something to do with the configuration files in
~/.subversion but I tried deleting that directory and re-running the
build/checks and it still gives the same information.

Any ideas?

    Thanks!
