Charset conversion failed on ASCII only folder ?

Hello everyone,

Could someone tell me why the following sometimes happens ?
K:\leadmanagement>svn up -r HEAD
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/rac/leadmanagement/trunk'
svn: (charset conversion failed)

K:\leadmanagement>svn up -r HEAD
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/rac/leadmanagement/trunk'
svn: (charset conversion failed)

K:\leadmanagement>svn up -r HEAD
D  lib\dev\mockobjects-core.jar
[snip]
Updated to revision 512.

You can see that I tried twice, and the third time it worked.  What I did
not show you are the other three times that I also tried before.  In each
case, there is nothing that changes on the system or in the
configuration.  I just hit up-arrow/enter and let SVN work.

This happens a few times a day, and is not easily reproductible. 
Sometimes, this happens when I try to commit.  SVN saves my commit
message in the temporary file.  In that case, I simply hit up-arrow
again, and add -F svn-commit.tmp and let it run.  Most of the time it
will work immediately, but sometimes I have to try again another time or
two before the commit actually happens.

Information about my environment:
K:\leadmanagement>svn --version
svn, version 0.27.0 (r6715)
   compiled Aug 20 2003, 02:19:40

K:\leadmanagement>svn info
Path:
Url: https://svn.hopto.org:8193/repos/rac/leadmanagement/trunk
[snip]

Apache 2.0.47 through SSL, Win2K SP4 fr_CA (CP 850/1252).  Server and
client are on the same physical machine, but go through the network.

Thanks for any information,

I cannot rule it out completely.  This is my main machine and have not
had any suspicious crashes in quite a while.  I will test the RAM anyway.

Thanks !
François

The SSL connection pretty much rules out (I think) network data corruption.

Is it possible that the machine has bad RAM?

If you can afford to offline the box, an excellent RAM testing tool is
available for free at http://www.memtest86.com/
