svnserve 64bit losing history (sort of)

I have isolated some strange behavior to svnserve on x86_64 windows, but this needs to be verified by another person before I can submit a bug report. So if anyone is willing to give this a test, please let us know your feedback...

I believe these are the steps to reproduce:

1. Install CollabNetSubversion-server-1.6.1-2.win32.exe on Windows Server 2003 R2 x86_64. (Or any 64bit OS?)

2. Run svnserve as a service (optionally, don't even install apache)

3. Install any 32bit client you wish, on another machine. In this case, it's my XP Pro (fully updated) laptop, and several clients... (TortoiseSVN-1.6.2, TortoiseSVN-1.5.9, cygwin svn version 1.6.1)

4. Using any of the 32bit clients, try to do "svn log" on svn://server/somerepo

5. The result is:
(no author) | (no date) For every single entry
and also no comment.

6. But try the same thing ... "svn log" from any x86_64 client, and all the info appears just fine. (In this case, I used TortoiseSVN-1.5.9.15518-x64-svn-1.5.6.msi and TortoiseSVN-1.6.2.16344-x64-svn-1.6.2.msi)

Important points are:

* My 32bit clients work fine when talking to other servers ... but not this x64 server.

* My x86 server works fine when talking to a 64bit client.

* Also, if I run apache on the x64 server, then my 32bit clients work fine via http://

* The problem is isolated to svnserve, 64bit server with 32bit client. (Perhaps also 32bit server with 64bit client? I didn't test this scenario.)
