I disagree. For a daemon, $HOME shouldn't be set in the first place. But in any case, we don't really care what APR or glibc do under the covers; that's our platform abstraction. > >> Still, I don't see from the code how it could hang.

I don't know, I'm only guessing, since I have no way to reproduce the problem. Getting a call stack from the blocked svnserve process would help diagnose the reason. -- Brane
