It is a fault condition if something else is expected. If you ask
"what's the time" and someone answers with "OK", you would treat that as
a wrong answer as well :)

Just double click on that. Then the error message vanishes and you can
see the log entries behind it.

It could be a malformed log message. svn clients must follow certain
rules for those messages. If your client doesn't do that, it's possible
to get such malformed messages to the server and that breaks showing the
log. Try finding the log message that's causing the problem and then
edit it to something correct.

Or it might be a proxy between the client and your server that's
dropping packets, or a firewall/virus scanner that's changing (they call
that 'sanitizing') the packets...
