You are, and thank you for that!
So, have you also looked at these two issues:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=667
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2010
? I think it's possible that the bug you're seeing is a duplicate of
one of them... in fact, I think it is quite likely to be another
symptom of issue #667. If you could take a look at that issue in
detail, that would be great.
If you think it is a dup, go ahead and add a comment to the issue,
linking to your original mail in the archives (to save you time:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=126488).
If you think it's not the same bug, go ahead and file a new issue, but
please mention issue #667 in your new issue, and vice versa, so that
there's a trail connecting them in case we later discover they are
both due to the same underlying problem.
If you have time to analyze the code and come up with a patch, that
would be even better, of course, but no problem if you can't.
