We also tested it without Tortoise, but with the "pure" Svn Command line
client: The same behaviour: If we do a simple 'svn checkout repo path'
svn.exe hangs after calling some routine in 'libapr_tsvn'. It eats all
cpu-time of one core and the memory usage constantly grows, I killed it
when it reached about 1 Gigabyte.

With Svn command line client v1.7 everything works.

Interesting: With Tortoise SVN Client v1.7, we tried both settings:

[globals]
http-library = serf
and with
http-library = neon

It works for both versions, so I doublt it is only because of the change
from neon to serf (?)

Well, I'll probably move the SVN list.
