Existing connection forcibly closed by remote host (SVN over VPN issue)

Hi all!

I have a problem with SVN server (https protocol) running over VPN. The problem is consistent and reproducible. When connected to VPN any commit operation containing more than a few Kb of data will fail after returning the following error:

Error: Commit failed (details follow):
Error: PUT of
Error: '/svn/test/!svn/wrk/6f036c59-c3a8-5947-91dd-bd0f1eeccd84/SomeFolder/SomeFile.ppt':
Error: Could not send request body: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the
Error: remote host.
Error: (https://mysvnserver<https://mysvnserver/>)

The problem only happens when accessing SVN over VPN. Connected to the office network everything works fine. Only commits are affected. Using my SVN client I can browse the repository, checkout folders and even remotely rename or delete them. Surprisingly if I try to commit (svn add + svn commit) just a few Kb of data it works! Commit files bigger than 100 Kb is impossible. Please see below my setup:

- HOST :
1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
2. Svnserve, version 1.5.1 (r32289) - compiled Jul 29 2008, 12:13:26
3. Apache 2.2.8 + SSL + WebDAV
- Client:
1. Windows XP SP3
2. TSVN version 1.5.6 or Eclipse with Subclipse 1.4.8
3. Check Point's VPN-1 client

Suspecting a timeout I changed httpd.conf to:

Timeout 50000
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 0
KeepAliveTimeout 250000

Unfortunately it didn't work. Does someone guess what could be the problem? Any hint is very welcome.

Thank you,
