"svn: REPORT request failed" on Sun and HPUX

I am experiencing two rather odd errors on some Unix
machines.

I first was experiencing this on a Sun 5.9 (Solaris 9)
machine with svn 
1.1.4. The machine is rather slow (some 500Mhz) and the
repository is 
rather large (a couple gigs.) Sometimes the checkout would
work, but 
sometimes it would do this:

svn: REPORT request failed on '/xvt/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the
response: XML parse 
error at line 3093827: Extra content at the end of the
document
. (/xvt/!svn/vcc/default)

Or sometimes it would alternate with this:

svn: REPORT request failed on '/xvt/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/xvt/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (http://svn.xvt.com)

I tried doing it on an HPUX box instead, but I experienced
these errors 
as well. In all cases, the checkout got through a good
portion of the 
repository before it died. One characteristic of the first
error is that 
it always happens in the same place, if it happens.
(Changing the files 
in the repository doesn't seem to help, I tried deleting a
bunch of 
unnecessary files and it still happened.) After a couple
days of pulling 
out hair, I tried updating the Sun box to the latest
available svn from 
sunfreeware.com, which was 1.3.1. I got the second error the
first time 
I tried.

I've googled for both of these errors. The first error is
not found on 
Google, and the second is all over Google but no solution is
found other 
then running "svn up" again, which is not an
option because this is part 
of an automated build process.

Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds? Can
anybody suggest 
anything that can get my builds working?

Bump! I'm just letting the list know I haven't gotten any
replies to 
this off-list, and it is still an ongoing problem. Can
anybody suggest 
anything?
