Comment 6 for bug 251428

Tim Hatch pointed out this:

[22:48] <jelmer> matid: in other words, configuring with --without-sasl may fix it

from:

http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/04/12/%23bzr.html

and from:

http://www.nabble.com/Crazy-svn%2Bssh-commit-regression-in-trunk-and-1.5-td15349239.html#a15418829

This appears to be svn + SASL issue. I recompiled the trunk version of svn with:

--without-sasl

And things are now working, great!

Attached is a patch to give a description of the error message.
