svn: E175009: XML parsing failed: (200 OK) on Checkout

	Hi,

Just raising interest before users are reporting this issue.
On two separate occasions this morning (from different networks) clean
checkouts from svn.apache.org (the EU mirror) got the simple but fatal
error:

svn: E175009: XML parsing failed: (200 OK)

After the checkout just partially succeeded.
(svn cleanup and then update recover from this state)

Danielsh checked the server side and we found:
 [Thu Jun 20 09:35:48 2013] [error] [client ] Provider encountered an error
while streaming a REPORT response.  [500, #0]
 [Thu Jun 20 09:35:48 2013] [error] [client ] A failure occurred while
driving the update report editor  [500, #53]
 [Thu Jun 20 09:35:48 2013] [error] [client ] Error writing base64 data:
Software caused connection abort  [500, #53]

We would guess that at least one of the sides should report a reason why the
connection failed, preferably the client...
