RE: Deadlock-like behaviour of svnserve in multi-threaded mode (-T)

Polarion is our application and it uses SvnKit (http://svnkit.com/) as a
connector to SVN. We use SVNKit version 1.8.12.

Dump from our application also shows that the threads are waiting for data
from network. Could it be an issue in Windows itself? Anyway, we have seen
this behavior both in Windows and Linux environment and never seen it with
Subversion 1.8 and earlier, so we suspect it's a regression in Subversion.

Thanks,
Radek

As far I see all 22 workers threads are waiting for data from network:

It also seems that you're using some third-party (Polarion) svn:// client
for Subversion. Is it true?
