SVN hangs on commit with select() timeout

Hi.

I've noticed that SVN hangs when I ask it to commit changes to my
repository. If I monitor what it's doing with strace, the last lines
are:

(using the command strace svn commit -m "foo" > ~/llog 2>&1)

I apologize in advance for the paucity of debugging details -- I'm more
than willing to supply them, but I wasn't sure what would be relavent.
