Apache.exe eating all memory?

Hi,

it seems that there is a memory leak in one of the svn mods for apache.
When i execute the command svn ls -R http://box/svn/REPO the Apache
process eats up all memory until the physical RAM (2GB) is reached and
then Apache restarts. My repository has a size of about 350MB and
contains thousands of small files with hundreds of revisions. I know
that Apache has its own memory management that does not release memory
immediately when it is not needed any more. But it should not crash...

Is anybody out there with a similiar problem who can give me a solution?
At the moment i have to reboot the server twice a day and the developers
are starting to complain about the inconvenience.

Here is my configuration:
Apache 2.0.55
SVN 1.3.0
mod_auth_sspi 1.0.4

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Though not exactly the solution, did you try the MaxMemFree
apache-directive?
We had some performance problems some months ago due to too much
memory-hanger, and applying a "MaxMemFree 80000" did solve it.
