svnsync 1.6.17: Unknown command 'failure'

Hello,

I'm trying to synchronize a repository from the svn server running version
1.4.6 (r28521).
The svnsync sync stops on a revision that has strange Unicode characters in
the commit message and displays the "Unknown command 'failure'" message.
The svn log command shows this commit message for that revision:

Text: ?\131?\196(EOT)[]?\195?\141v
Hex: 3f 5c 31 33 31 3f 5c 31 39 36 04 5b 5d 3f 5c 31 39 35 3f 5c 31 34 31 76

The (EOT) in the message is the End-of-tape character, ASCII 04.

If I save the log as XML, this characters are saved:

<msg>ƒÄ?\004[]ĂŤv</msg>
c4 3f 5c 30 30 34 5b 5d c3 8d 76

These are the version of the tools used:

svnsync, version 1.6.17 (r1128011)
   compiled May 30 2011, 14:52:54

svnserve, version 1.4.6 (r28521)
   compiled Dec 20 2007, 16:33:06

Is there a way to get this revision synced to the mirror repository?

Best regards,
Jozef Izso.
