I agree with this assesment if you are not using my HTTPD RPMs. If you
ARE using my HTTPD RPMs then I think something else is wrong. I've been
using my HTTPD RPMs for a long time and have never run into any corruption
problems (of course this doesn't PROVE anything, just a data point).
To rephrase: Don't use the RedHat HTTPD RPMs with my Subversion RPMs, I
think that will definitely cause problems because the RedHat RPMs are
normally compiled with a different version of DB for Fedora 1 and
RHEL3/WBEL3.
