The first step would be to study the changelogs (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.6.x) and/or the CHANGES files and to identify the change that causes the regression.
Your best chance of getting this fixed in 1.6.17 (assuming it's indeed a bug) is to tell us "<this> changed regressed <this> functionality".
