I thank in advance who will spend time to answer Snapshot:
Machine A: Debian installation on amd64 dual-core and eclipse-helios-64 with svn perspective and Subversive SVN Team Provider Connector. NO JavaHL Connector (it has internal win32 features). Machine B: WinXP on Genuine Intel 32bit and Apache http server 2.2.15 + Apache subversion 1.6.13 correctly configured because I usually access via http from localhost to the repositories. Machine A and B are connected in a little LAN. On machine A I opened an eclipse workspace from root terminal, I selected SVN explorer perspective and I tried to set a new repository location with Machine B ip and repository path as usually defined in Location directive in httpd.conf. The connection hanged and apache http server (httpd.exe) on machine B crashed with this information szAppName : httpd.exe szAppVer : 2.2.15.0 szModName : libsvn_subr-1.dll szModVer : 1.6.13.19776 offset : 0000a3d9 I am administrator of machine B. I work with other eclipse installations on xp machines that are pointing to the same repo on machine B and I never had problems. It is the same to try as other user (no-root) from machine A. I already look for this issue into http://svn.haxx.se/users, finding nothing
