Thanks, this explains what happens.

Could you do one of the following:

    1) Work around the GetTickCount() limitation by watching and
       counting overflows yourself or use a different API function?
       (Don't know whether this is possible.)

Or:

    2) Add a remark to the Subversion documentation that on Windows
       systems a reboot is necessary at least after 49 days?
