svn corrupts binary files on import

I have seen this happen a few times. I have just started using SVN, so I
may be doing something wrong. Steps to recreate:

1. svn import mydir/, where there is a non-text file "mybin" somewhere
under mydir
2. checkout mydir to some other location.
3. inspect "mybin". It is not good.

Attached is an example of an rpm that was mangled in this way. SVN
cannot even tell the difference between a good version and the bad one.

1. cp known-good "mybin" over existing mybin-BAD
2. svn status -> nothing

Attached is an svn-corrupted rpm, and the good one.

I would love to use SVN full time (it looks great), but disrupting my
binaries is a bad sign.

Here is the error I see when trying to install the bad one:

[root@drdab000 modules]# rpm -ivh modulesenv-3.1.6-2.src.rpm
error: modulesenv-3.1.6-2.src.rpm: MD5 digest: BAD

error: modulesenv-3.1.6-2.src.rpm cannot be installed

Diff from an octal dump "od -x Good" and "od -x Bad". Seems like the
difference is always between an 0xa and 0xd.
