Didn't someone else point out that this problem would not exist on Linux
prior to the 2.6 kernel? That could explain why it hasn't shown up. Also,
it presumably would not effect svn+ssh:// which I bet a lot of *nix people
use. Finally, it is entirely possible that the customers with high
activity, using mod_dav_svn, on Linux 2.6, are all using BDB currently.
I just do not see how this cannot be a blocker, and a backport.
