I can't replicate this.

I'm using sudo 1.6.8.12. I ran a total of four tests. The first two are
with Subversion 1.4.0, one with sudo compiled with the --shell-sets-home
option and one without. Both times the command completed successfully (and
dumped the contents of the ::Client object).

Then I tried the same two tests, but upgraded Subversion to 1.4.2. I got
the same result.

FWIW, http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/ is running the svn-client code under
mod_perl, with Apache started as root before it switches to the 'www' user,
and it's not exhibiting the problem either. This is in a FreeBSD 4.10 jail
(virtual server).

The

    /usr/bin/env HOME=/dev/null svn --version

test mentioned in a later message fails as expected.
