Okay, I'm happy for you that it worked :-). However, I'm not convinced the error is gone. In my case it would also only fail intermittently.
I couldn't reproduce it all the time (it happened perhaps 1 in 4 or 5 attempts).

If you would run into the error again, please let us know ...

(in my case, we were able to reduce the reproduction recipe, by only doing an 'svn export --depth=immediates http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.8.3/' -> within a couple of attempts of that export I would run into the issue (I can reproduce it with both serf 1.2.1 and 1.3.1). Maybe you can also try exactly this export a couple of times?)

Tried it with 1.8.3 wandisco about 20 times and it never failed. Tried it with 1.8.1 collabnet and it failed first time.
Is the version of serf used dependent on the distro then, and not a core svn thing?
