svn merge problem

[YoungHun Park <we...@bitsgen.com>]

hello all,

i'm testing my first subversion server (1.4.6) on a fedora 8 machine.
it's ok overall cases but when i try to test the branch function, here's the problem.
somtimes it's ok(fast result), but sometimes, the completion time is very very long,
and sometimes, the svnserve process(a forked process) become a zombie one.

here, i branched my test project like below.

svn copy svn://192.168.0.4/test7/trunk svn://192.168.0.4/test7/branches/testBranch1
svn checkout svn://192.168.0.4/test7/branches/testBranch1 branch-1
svn checkout svn:://192.168.0.4/test7/trunk trunk_1

then i changed a sample file in the directory 'trunk_1', like  ..../trunk_1/some_path../sample_file
and committed it to the server(the revison number 938)
and i changed the current directory to test_Branch_1/some_path../, and did 

branch-1$ svn merge -r 935:HEAD svn://192.168.0.4/test7/trunk/some_path../

then here, when i push the enter key, it takes a very very long time to fininsh the job
(and sometimes the process dies and even sometimes it's ok)

does anyone got a clue? 


thanks in advance,
