Bruce,

Yeah, I've been running these two repositories on a FreeBSD 6.4
system for several years with the same configuration with no
troubles. I did the initial install about 2 weeks ago. I have been
rebuilding every time the ports tree for anything I'm running gets
updated hoping that will fix it (most recently this morning) with no
luck. I did try switching to Apache 2.0 instead of 2.2 a few days ago
and that failed to build (probably because of the APR stuff
happening). I might try that again since I think Subversion got an
APR related update in ports since then but I probably won't get to it
till Monday.

I haven't tried svn+ssh yet either, but since it will checkout via
http on the local machine, and is navigable via firefox, it didn't
seem to be an issue with the repository itself that svn+ssh might
rule out. I might give that a try Monday as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give both a shot just to rule them
out or turn up more info early next week and let you know what happens.

Michael
