svn: Can't close activity db: Error string not specified yet

Hi,

I am receiving the error:
"svn: Can't close activity db: Error string not specified yet"
when committing to my fsfs repo via one Apache mod_dav_svn instance, but not
another - I'm trying to upgrade my loadbalanced svn pool and can't figure
out what's different about this new apache server.

Details (new (problem) svn server):
Subversion 1.2.0
Apache 2.0.54
Solaris 9 x86 (SunFire V20z - AMD Opteron)

Repo is fsfs over NFS - working great on this server:
Subversion 1.2.0
Apache 2.0.52
Solaris 9 Sparc (SunFire V100)

Permissions verified:
Did a test touch of file in the dav dir as www user - no problem.

Error logs:

Everything looks OK (locks accepted etc) - why am I getting this error from
the dav code (yes, I'm dangerously close to hacking the source - hence this
post)

Thanks!
