I haven't the ISO C standard available, but according to POSIX, "C" is not
allowed to fail for a conforming ISO C implementation. I'll remove the

fprintf will be checked. I'm planning to internationalize svnserve output,
and would do that at the same time. I don't know why apr_socket_listen
isn't checked.
