Hi all,
I think I found the cause for this very esoteric problem, but yet have
to do more monitoring if this was the really the problem.
I had installed SVN::Notify from CPAN and didn't use the --charset
switch on svnnotify and therefore sometimes the process badly hung, also
tearing down SVN. When I didn't use the switch, than the process hund
with this (got this with strace):
write(2, "utf8 \"\\xF6\" does not map to Unic"..., 123
At least now I took the time to convert the bdb backend to fsfs, I hope
this is fine with the 1.1.4 release.
