Given that checkout over http tends to work normally, check if you don't 
have a version mismatch somewhere. What does error.log say? Did you use 
ldd to check which versions of apr httpd is using? Did you build 
mod_dav_svn with the same apr version as your httpd?

For further troubleshooting, configure apache to create core dumps:
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html#gcore

Once you have the core file, you can use gdb to create a stacktrace (use 
bt full). Hide any details (like passwords) you might find and send the 
stack trace to this list.

In your mail, also add the environment details: all versions, platform, 
OS, gcc version, configure options etc.

hth,
