timed out waiting for server

I've a big problem with a large repository. It contains some hundred files
in about 4500 revisions. This repository was converted from CVS with
cvs2svn. After this conversion 'svnadmin verify' and 'db_verify' did not
report any errors.

After some update (and just update!) operations to some revisions via
'ra_dav' using 'http' schema on the whole trunk or on some subtrees svn
(sometimes) reports this:

 svn: REPORT request failed on '/repos/myrepos/!svn/vcc/default'
 svn: REPORT of '/repos/myrepos/!svn/vcc/default': timed out waiting for server (http://mysvn.dresearch.de)

Apaches 'error.log' does not report any errors.

Everytime when such a problem is detected i shut down the server and make
some verifications of the DB. After some of these cycles 'svnadmin verify'
just hangs for a very long time after verification of the first some
revisions. :(

After some dozen minutes i killed the process by sending SIGKILL (no other
chance to stop it). 'db_verify' does not report any errors.

It does not look like an resource problem. The server has just a minimal
load (CPU 99% idle, enough free mem, just a few kB/s on the network).

Server ist based on SuSE 9.0 with these package versions:

 subversion-1.0.6-2
 subversion-cvs2svn-1.0.6-2
 subversion-devel-1.0.6-2
 subversion-doc-1.0.6-2
 subversion-server-1.0.6-2
 subversion-tools-1.0.6-2
 subversion-viewcvs-1.0.6-2
 neon-0.24.4-70
 apache2-2.0.48-135
 apache2-worker-2.0.48-135
 db-4.1.25-76
 db-utils-4.1.25-76
  
Client runs on an RedHat 7 system with self-compiled svn, version 1.0.5
(r9954).

That's all a bit mystical. What's wrong here?

Steffen
