svn: PUT of <file> : could not connect to server

hello all,

I am having this problem when trying to commit a large number of files
at once to a server running apache with mod_dav_svn as installed with
gforge. I have verified that I can connect to the server, and I have
been able to check files out, check in single files, etc. But when I
try to do a bulk check in I get errors.

When analyzing the network traffic I see the httpd requests and
responces flying back and forth, but the final attempt that seems to
cause the batch add to abort is a RST packet from the server ... as if
there is no longer a service listening. There are no errors in the
apache logs.

I have included my gforge config file (which has all the mod_dav_svn
directives), and the main apache config file below. Any help would be
appreciated.

Sincerely,
Dennison Williams
