If it happens with other windows clients, then it's an issue of the
Subversion library (which all clients use). Which means you still need
to ask on the Subversion mailing list for help.

Now what? Above you said it happens with a number of windows clients,
now it's only TSVN? Which is it now? And no, just because you tell that
you can only reproduce this with TSVN does not help - it's still a
Subversion issue.

It's a server issue and not a client one for several reasons:
* you only see the effect on the server.
* a server must *never, ever* assume that a client behaves in a certain
way - if the server does, then that's a security vulnerability and would
make it open for DOS attacks.

My guess is that your server doesn't properly time out open connections.

As soon as a windows process is terminated, *all* handles and sockets
are automatically closed, even if one would have been left open
accidentally.
