The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse

(I found this thread by google and therefore just subscribed to
dev@subversion; but this means that I can't reply and make it thread
properly in the web archives)

A user just reported this same exact problem to me earlier this week:

-----
1 [lo-03-02]~/software/openmpi|> svn co
http://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/trunk ompi-trunk
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/ompi/!svn/bc/7442/trunk'
svn: The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse
error at line 1: mismatched tag (/svn/ompi/!svn/bc/7442/trunk)
-----

Neither the URL nor the error message shown above is edited at all -- I
thought the path in the error message was pretty strange as well.

The problem is fairly repeatable -- a fresh "co" will work after 2-3
tries, but trying to "up" after a successful checkout will nearly
always result in the problem. He said that a second or third attempt
to update would usually work properly. This is an anonymous /
read-only checkout (note the http:). I have https write access to this
repository and have not seen any problems like this at all, but the
user was getting them fairly consistently earlier last week.

Environments:

Server:
   - Solaris 8
   - Apache 2.0.53
   - Subversion 1.1.4 (r13838)

Client:
   - SVN 1.2.0
   - Debian stable, 64 bit (kernel 2.6.12.5 -- some vendor extensions)

There is one odd thing about the user's environment -- it's on a Lustre
filesystem. The user does not seem to have this problem on an NFS
filesystem. Are there any known issues with checking out/updating on
Lustre filesystems?

Here's the Lustre info:

Lustre: OBD class driver Build Version:
1.4.1-19700101010000-PRISTINE-.usr.src.linux-2.6.12.linux-2.6.12.5-
ql+lustre-2.6.12.5, info@clusterfs.com
Lustre: Lustre Lite Client File System; info@clusterfs.com
Lustre: Filtering OBD driver; info@clusterfs.com

Thanks!
