AW: AW: NTLM authentication in subversion 1.9.0?

I see. Shall I create a separate issue for this in the subversion bug tracker or attach the NTLM-related information to an existing issue?

        Kind regards,

As you suspected, the problem already appears in subversion-1.8.14. Here is a summary of what I tried (corresponding log files are attached):

I'd say it's a bug, and it's most likely an unintended side effect of
the security fix for CVE-2015-3184, which was first released in 1.7.21,
1.8.14 and 1.9.0. We've had similar reports in connection with Kerberos
authentication, it's not impossible that the cases are related.
