Thanks for the reply. So I spent ages digging into this (and related issues) last night, and that is correct. gethostbyname() is indeed failing, spontaneously it seems. However, as to why, I don't know yet. I'm suspecting something is getting messed up in the local memory space that is affecting it. Other processes do not seem to be affected.
I also tried using 1.7.7 client libraries (which I eventually got to compile and more or less work from source once I stopped using a custom built APR and used the one Apple provides on the platform). However, I was running into stack corruption issues during repeated svn_client_cat2() calls (the revision was getting overwritten, or the pointer was getting changed and ended up being the URL string). I haven't yet figured these issues out, or tried more current code than 1.7.7.
