"connection closed unexpectedly" during checkout

[Aaron Montgomery <ee...@monsterworks.com>]

Completely new to subversion. Attempting to set up a server on Mac OS  
X (10.3.9) and a client on Mac OS X (10.4.2). Subversion version  
1.2.3 on both machines. Everything appeared to go as expected, but  
when I try to checkout I receive the following response:

%svn checkout svn://XXX.edu/test
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

However the test directory is created and the .svn subdirectory is  
created (it looks like it is complete). However, the files in the  
repository are not downloaded to my local machine. I'm pretty sure  
I've got the everything correct as I can do a list command

%svn list svn://XXX.edu/test
bar.c
foo.c
foo.h

and an update command (which succeeds)

%svn update svn://XXX.edu/test
A    test/foo.c
A    test/bar.c
A    test/foo.h

(I can issue the update command immediately, the list command doesn't  
need to be issued before the update).

The server is behind a firewall (over which I have no control), so  
maybe that is the issue (this was my first thought, but the update  
command seems to work).

Any suggestions would be appreciated. The only solutions I saw on the  
list archives were attempting to svnadmin recover which I tried. It  
didn't solve this problem and I don' t think the repository is  
corrupt since I can successfully update from the repository.

TIA,
Aaron
