there's a good chance of that, yes: TSVN always links with the latest
version of OpenSSL. And if you recall, OpenSSL had a few cipher
algorithms deactivated by default for security reasons. TSVN always
builds with the defaults, so those weak ciphers are not available
anymore when using TSVN, but your server might still expect them.

To narrow down the problem, you have to check the Apache error log:
there should be an entry every time you get the error that the
connection was closed by the server. And that entry should give you more
information why that happened.
