Apache2 segfaults in a specific subtree of repository

Hi,

we have a problem when checking out a subtree of our repository: 1
thread of apache2 server segfaults and svn client hangs. After
terminating all other apache instances the svn client reports:
  svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/!svn/vcc/default'
  svn: REPORT of '/svn/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read chunk size:
connection was closed by server. (http://localhost:10080)
Or
  svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/!svn/vcc/default'
  svn: REPORT of '/svn/!svn/vcc/default': Compressed response was
truncated (http://localhost)

When checking out the problematic subtree the first time it always works
until a specific file is reached.
A following "svn up" for that partial checked out tree also fails. Only
an explicit "svn up" for the subdir where the problem occured helps.

Example:
  * "svn co http://localhost/svn/branches/pqsyn_t2/1.2.x/" fails in
directory "1.2.x/linux/kernel/include/asm-s390x/"
  * "svn up 1.2.x/" fails
  * "svn up 1.2.x/linux/" fails
  * "svn up 1.2.x/linux/kernel/include/asm-s390x/" works (missing files
are checked out)
  * "svn up 1.2.x/linux/kernel/include/" works (missing files
are checked out)
  * "svn up 1.2.x/" works (missing files
are checked out)

The following commands all worked:
  * "svn co
http://localhost/svn/branches/pqsyn_t2/1.2.x/linux/kernel/include/asm-s3
90x/ pqsyn_t2_1.2.x_linux_kernel_include_asm-s390x"
  * "svn co
http://localhost/svn/branches/pqsyn_t2/1.2.x/linux/kernel/include/
pqsyn_t2_1.2.x_linux_kernel_include"
  * "svn co http://localhost/svn/branches/pqsyn_t2/1.2.x/linux/kernel/
pqsyn_t2_1.2.x_linux_kernel"
  * "svn co http://localhost/svn/branches/pqsyn_t2/1.2.x/linux/
pqsyn_t2_1.2.x_linux"

The error doesn't occur with svnserve access. It also doesn't occur when
checking out other subtrees of our repository.

"svnadmin verify /var/lib/svn/repository/" on the svn server doesn't
report any error.
