I am the package maintainer of svn for Fink on Mac OS X. I just had
exactly the same error on Mac OS X 10.3 with svn 1.4.0. It definitely
did not happen with svn 1.3. Building as 'nobody' solved that issue.
It would be intereting to see what was changed for that test between
1.3 and 1.4, or, what has changed in the test setup.
