svn 1.6.9 stuck on CLOSE_WAIT after 'svn info'

[Lars Peterson <pe...@highfleet.com>]

I have a bash script that runs this command as part of a code testing  
system:

	svn info https://server.highfleet.com/repository/trunk/Project -- 
username user --password secret

Every tenth run or so, it hangs, producing no output.  Perhaps notable  
is this open TCP socket:

svn     22905 testuser    4u  IPv4           43196765      0t0       
TCP client.highfleet.com:35940->server.highfleet.com:https (CLOSE_WAIT)

The client is:
$ svn --version

svn, version 1.6.9 (r901367)
compiled Jan 27 2010, 08:12:30

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:
* ra_neon : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol  
using Neon.
   - handles 'http' scheme
   - handles 'https' scheme
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network  
protocol.
   - with Cyrus SASL authentication
   - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
   - handles 'file' scheme
* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol  
using serf.
   - handles 'http' scheme
   - handles 'https' scheme

The client OS is Debian:
2.6.32-2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 12 00:01:47 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The server OS is Debian:
2.6.30-bpo.1-686-bigmem #1 SMP Mon Aug 17 17:28:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/ 
Linux

I can supply any further information required to get to the bottom of  
this one.   Thanks a lot,

Do you know which neon version is used by your svn?

Neon 0.29.0-0.29.2 have a regression with closing https connections,
triggerable by certain proxies and non-apache webservers. Upgrading to neon
0.29.3 fixes these hangs.
