RE: LDAP authentication broke after SVN upgrade 1.1.1 to 1.2

Sorry. I was patting myself on the head for including the apache
configuration, and neglected to even specify the platform. So here goes
repentence... Thanks again for helping...

It's Windows 2003 Server, and I upgraded to the Apache 2.0.54 binary that is
downloadable from Apache's web site. Subversion also was the Windows binary
from Subversion's site.

No, I did not recompile anything. SVN 1.2 came with mod_authz_svn.so and
mod_dav_svn.so, which I copied into Apache's modules directory, over the SVN
1.1.1 versions that were there previously. For my last setup (with prior
versions of SVN and Apache), this was all that was necessary.

These are the logs that Apache gives right after a crash:
access.log:
128.187.130.114 <http://128.187.130.114> - - [22/Jun/2005:20:24:03 -0600]
"GET / HTTP/1.1" 401 495

error.log:
