svn v1.5.1 via apache 2.0.63 on solaris "Final line in revision file longer than 64 characters"

I'm having trouble with a newly built subvesion 1.5.1 server. When I
run the svnserve process, access the the test database works just fine.
When I try access via apache through either a web-browser using dav or
tortoise client I get the errors noted (these are copied from the apache
log, the last error is what I see in tortoise).

[Tue Aug 05 16:18:14 2008] [error] [client 10.10.10.174] Could not fetch
resource information. [500, #0]
[Tue Aug 05 16:18:14 2008] [error] [client 10.10.10.174] Could not open
the root of the repository [500, #160004]
[Tue Aug 05 16:18:14 2008] [error] [client 10.10.10.174] Final line in
revision file longer than 64 characters [500, #160004]

This is on a sparc solaris 10 system. The freshly built Apache version
is 2.0.63.

My apache config looks like this as a starting config to ensure things work:

<Location /svntest>
   DAV svn
   SVNPath /home/whitson/svntestdbs/test01
</Location>

I create the db using (on the sever) svnadmin creaetdb test01 while in
the svntestdbs folder.

As mentioned, I can launch the svnserve from this svn server
installation, serve up the svntestdbs as the root (as follows) and all
works just fine:
    svnserve --daemon --root /home/whitson/svntestdbs

My tortoise clients (on different systems than the server) access via
the svn protocol just fine. Nothing seems to be able to access the
repository vi httpd (apache).

Any ideas?

Thanks much,
