Justin:
Initially I didn't compile either one; they were just what I got from the
Fedora install and later updated by yum. Last night I did compile and
install Subversion, but "make install" didn't appear to provide new copies
of mod_dav_svn.so anywhere. In any case, the behavior was the same before
and after.
