subversion checkouts on NFS mounts don't work? Malformed XML error....

There is a particular directory, where if I check it out so the working
copy is on an NFS mount, the resulting .svn/entries is corrupt. If I
check it out to locally mounted /tmp it is fine.

build@zaphod:~/b.nfs$ svn up
svn: XML parser failed in ''
svn: Malformed XML: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 44

$ tail -n 2 /home/build/b.nfs/.svn/entries
</wc-entries>
88"/>

What's up with the line:
88">
at the end of /home/build/b.nfs/.svn/entries?

Anybody have any idea what is up?

The common answer to the "Malformed XML error" question is something
about weird chars, but:
$ find . -type f |perl -ne 'chomp; print "$_\n" if
m|[^-A-Za-z0-9_/\.~]|;' |od -a
0000000
$ echo -n '' | od -a
0000000
So to me that looks like all file names are fine.

(I'm a little hesitant to place a tarball of our code on the net! :-D
But maybe we can arrange something off-list...)

Cheers,

Peter
