svn log hangs munching cpu

Hi,

following is top output:

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
31151 plgtest 25 0 7316 2564 2024 R 64 0.1 1215:37 svn
 6416 plgtest 25 0 7316 2564 2024 R 55 0.1 1489:08 svn
24938 plgtest 25 0 7316 2564 2024 R 50 0.1 1538:18 svn
32493 plgtest 25 0 7312 2556 2024 R 49 0.1 746:08.08 svn
  800 plgtest 25 0 7316 2564 2024 R 47 0.1 747:46.63 svn
 5718 plgtest 25 0 7312 2560 2024 R 46 0.1 1318:43 svn
 2382 plgtest 25 0 7312 2560 2024 R 45 0.1 1268:37 svn

the command lines for the hung svn processes are of the form:

svn log --incremental http://... -r$REV

and, usually (even on the same box), running the exact same command
is fast (0.08 seconds), so this seems not reproducable. It may have
been triggered by network problems, but there's no way to know now.

Is this a known problem? Should I raise an issue?

client is svn v1.4.2 running on Debian, server is v1.4.3 via Apache.

thanks

Dave
