Heheh. Not here, no, but I was using our company WiFi, which gets very
flaky in the afternoons. You might be on to something.

No additional info for the one case I did dig into. libsvn_client
calls lower levels to do an update, the operation completes, "error"
is non-zero, so it's handed to apr, who says this helpful thing.

I've spent some time this evening on this. Haven't seen the mystery
error again. I don't know if it's related or not, but I have found
that these same operations are intermittently leaking teeny bits of
memory (64 bytes). Not every time, maybe once in four, tonight. That
"not every time" sounds rather like this APR thing. And code (probably
mine) that nondeterministically leaks is doing SOMETHING wrong, dang
it, and it seems possible it otherwhen uses a bad pointer from the
same botch.

But Bert's case is surely not related to my leaks.
