svn: XML data was not well-formed

Hi,

I'm fairly new to subversion and have run into a problem that has me puzzled.

We've been converting a fairly large CVS repository into SVN using the cvs2svn.py
script that ships with subversion. Everything imports just fine, but when trying
to checkout a copy of the repository the following error occurs:

   svn: XML data was not well-formed
   svn: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 3

This always happens when svn tries to checkout the same file, which happens to be
a GIF file. Also, the above error message only appears when checking out the file
locally using:

   svn co file:///usr/local/subversion/svn/data/testrepos

I've searched google and the FAQ for the error message I received and did not find
anything that seemed relevant. When checking out the file over https/webdav the
checkout just locks up, with no error message.

I would like to find out what is causing this problem, and how I can fix it. I
would be glad to supply any other information that might help solve this issue.

Any comments/help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cory
