Here is the last lines in the strace output after running it. I'm not
that familiar with these commands but
futex seems to be a fast lock mechanism in Unix? Can I for instance try
to turn of the locking to make
it "less reliable" for a period to check this theory?

It applies in some way because AFS is quite similar to NFS. But the
thing is that SVN has been working for over 1 year now without having
any problems
with it. And since the client nor the server have been updated, I think
it has to do with some changes in the configuration or un removable
locks .. (?)
