Error running svn command line from DOS prompt
Hi,
I've been running subversion for a while with no problems either with
the command line client or TortoiseSVN.
However, I now find that if I try to run any SVN command from the DOS
prompt I get a "16 bit MS-DOS subsystem" dialog box appearing that reads
"The NVTDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction" and asks me to
click "close" to terminate the application.
Does anyone know why this is?
-All the other command line tools e.g. svnserve, svnlook, etc seem to
work fine but I get this error even if I try to run "svn help"
I am running on Windows XP Pro + svnserve and svnservice running
svnserve as a service.
Tortoise still runs fine both for repository and workspace operations.
Thanks,
Tim

OK, I checked and it is definitely cmd.exe
I tried running it directly from start > run > cmd but I get the same
error.
I also tried using start > run > command and the strange thing is I get
no error... but nothing happens either (e.g. no response even from "svn
--help")

You can check by right-clicking the icon right on the Start Menu and
looking at the Properties.
Or to be 100% certain, use Start...Run...cmd.exe
I'm asking you to check because on my system, when I run command.com I
get an ntvdm process in TaskMan, while cmd does not do that.

There is no true "DOS" in WinXP, but there is a DOS command
interpreter. Are you running cmd.exe (WinNT command prompt), or
command.com (DOS command interpreter)?
