If built with SASL support then svnserve always initialises the SASL
subsystem. This must be done if SASL is to be available and at this
stage the server doesn't know which repositories will be accessed.

It appears to be the SASL libraries that are producing the message when
the SASL subsystem is shut down:
http://git.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-sasl/tree/plugins/digestmd5.c

I guess you are running svnserve in inetd mode. I don't know how you
suppress the message.
