Believe me, I have enough experience with ZoneAlarm. And I can assure
you one thing: if something doesn't work and you have ZoneAlarm
installed, your best bet is to blame ZoneAlarm.

* ZoneAlarm successfully prevented me from installing VS2002 (fresh
Windows installation: ZoneAlarm was the first tool I installed, then
came VS2002 which ZoneAlarm didn't like).
* ZoneAlarm sometimes resets the 'last modification date' on files
without asking, which prevents Subversion from recognizing the files as
'modified'
* ZoneAlarm interferes with TCP/IP packets (without asking, and without
any entry in the logs) and is the reason for many errors with Subversion
(seems it still can't deal with DAV)
* ZoneAlarm can't be uninstalled properly (try it: I you succeed to
_really_ remove it without reformatting your harddrive, you're a genius)
*ZoneAlarm installs the OpenSSL.dll into the Windows System32 folder,
which breaks a lot of other programs (all those who happen to use a
different version of that dll - happened to TSVN) even though the
OpenSSL website _clearly_ states that you _MUST NOT DO THAT_.
I could add many more to that list.
And remember that a lot of people had no problems installling/updating
TSVN...
