svn operations (Secure connecton truncated)

Hello,

I am facing a problem when I checkin/import source onto subversion
repository using https.

Error: "Secure connection truncated", I am using subversion v1.4.5 with neon
v0.25.5.

e.g.
tcsh <molumurj@sx86qa3:/tmp/jnr/svn/jnrtest>> svn ci hi.c
Sending hi.c
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/projA/usr/local/jnrtest'
svn: MERGE of '/svn/projA/usr/local/jnrtest': Could not read status line:
Secure connection truncated (https://svn.jnr.com)
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: '/tmp/jnr/svn/jnrtest/svn-commit.3.tmp'
tcsh <molumurj@sx86qa3:/tmp/jnr/svn/jnrtest>>

I see the operation succeeded i.e. the file is commited onto repository but
the above error. Any suggestions/ideas are most welcome

Thanks,
