Strange behaviour with 'svn' in the host name

(All domain names changed for anonymity!)

We have a fully working repository at

    svn://www.example.com/Repo

Our DNS is set up so that svn.example.com and www.example.com return the
exact same address. But trying to access

    svn://svn.example.com/Repo

results in the error "no repository found". (Note - not "host not found"!)

Actually, the 'real' name of the same host is 'frank', and

    svn://frank.example.com/Repo

works just fine too.

So is there something about including the letters 'svn' in the host name
which makes subversion go funny?

We are hosting the repository with svnserve 1.4.6 under Ubuntu Hardy, and
using TortoiseSVN 1.5.5 under Win2k as the client.

Anyone got any clues?

Thanks :-)
