This may need a better long-term solution.

There is still an inherent race in the current approach.
Results of our test suite should not hinge on race condititions.
The ruby tests shouldn't invoke svnserve once per test but start one
svnserve instance that all tests will use.

One aditional problem I noticed is that is it impossible to run two
instances of ruby bindings tests on the same machine without test failures.
There were errors thrown from sqlite -- it seems that there is some shared
state between different instances of these tests, and that smells very wrong.

Both problems are probably fairly trivial to fix for someone versed in Ruby.
I am not, so I'm mentioning this here in case someone wants to scratch
this itch before I find some time to learn Ruby myself :)
