This is already filed at
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3053
There is definitely a problem somewhere, but without much more analysis
it's hard to say what is at fault here. Is it Samba? Is it Windows?
Is it Linux on the server side? Is it APR? Is it Subversion?
Someone who has the skills to run Subversion in a debugger on Windows
and who can replicate this problem with their samba setup is needed...
