Test failures on the OSX buildslave

[Branko Čibej <br...@apache.org>]

For a long time now I've been seeing test failures like this one:

https://ci.apache.org/builders/svn-x64-macosx-bdb/builds/2443

The failing test is XPASS and the annotation is

@XFail(svntest.main.is_mod_dav_url_quoting_broken)

I've white-listed the httpd version on the buildslave (2.2.29), on the
assumption that there'd been a fix backport. However, according to
svntest/main.py, this version is not on the blacklist. So why is the
test failing?

The tests on the 1.9.x branch don't use the whitelist option; the trunk
tests do but are failing anyway. The failure does not depend on BDB.

I'm at a loss ... any ideas?

The server reports version Apache/2.2.29 but for some reason our tests
(apparently more correctly) detect version 2.2.26 ... problem solved. Sigh.
