I now upgraded the SVN client to 1.9.0-dev from trunk. With trunk
version it's still inconsistent behaviour, but at least reproducible
to a certain extent.

I tried to checkout file a couple of times. Almost every time I get
the following lines in error.log on the server:

Unable to deliver content. [500, #0]
Could not write data to filter. [500, #175002]

but the first time the whole checkout finished successfully, even
though the server first recorded "500" and apparently another "200"
(success) on the second attempt for the same file. The client ended
with success.

The second time the client reported
    svn: E000054: Error running context: Connection reset by peer
(and the same happened when I ran it for the third/fourth/fifth/...
time) Sometimes it works though. And it usually hangs on different
files.

I'm unable to reproduce the faulty behaviour if I do a checkout from
the same network where the server is located, no matter what I try
(upgrading SVN client doesn't "help" triggering the error). Philip
also said that he had no problem doing a checkout with client version
1.8.5 or 1.7.

With subversion client 1.8.5 I'm sometimes able to reproduce the
problem from a different network, but it usually works. I tried
wireshark, but I don't know what to do with the zillions of packets it
shows me.

I'll first try to copy the repository to another server to see if I
could reproduce the problem from there. Other than that I would be
grateful for any hints if there exists some painless way to debug the
server.
