Firedaemon is like unix inetd, right? It launches svnserve only when a
connection comes in? In which case, you *don't* want to use the -d
switch with svnserve. That causes the process to detatch into the
background.

I suspect what's going on is that firedaemon then loses track of the
process, thinks it's "dead" and then forcibly kills the process...
which of course, is guaranteed to wedge a repository. Try either
running 'svnserve -d' (without using Firedaemon at all), or tell
Firedaemon to run 'svnserve -r'.
