1.4.3 and svnserve/db45 transient testsuite failures

I'm rebuilding our internal Subversion RPMs for Centos 4.x and decided
to update it to use the latest apr 1.2.8 and db 4.5.20.

I'm seeing random testsuite failures in 'make svncheck', never with
'make check'.

The first time it happened, I just redid the build without paying too
much attention, but it happened again in a difference test, but I
noticed that the last error message was the same:

svn: Reference to non-existent revision 5 in filesystem
'/var/tmp/rpmbuilding/blair/BUILD_i386/subversion-1.4.3/subversion/tests/cmdline/svn-test-work/repositories/diff_tests-9/db'
FAIL: diff_tests.py 9: pure repository diff update a file

I did the build again and this time it ran into no problems.

The error is odd that it doesn't see the latest revision in the
repository. Could this have something to do with the --bdb-txn-nosync
flag and db 4.5?

Regards,
Blair
