	This is just a guess, but your modules are out of sync.  Your
Apache/SVN/SSL all have to be compiled and linked against a
compatible version of the apr libraries.  My guess is you are using
the stock apache/ssl modules, and compiled a version of SVN.

	I had similar problems with SVN until I got versions of the
httpd/ssl/subversion that all worked together.  

I believe this guy has RPM's available:
david@summersoft.fay.ar.us

I don't remember where I got mine, but that guy is listed as the
packager (he's big into packaging RPM's for subversion, I followed
the development cycle closely at one point).  It looks like he's got
some listed here:

http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/

Each directory under there has a whitebox-el-3 listed.  The only
problem, is they aren't RHEL packages, so they might not work with
binary only packages, and they really won't play nice with security
updates.  RHEL has some nifty patches applied to apache to make SSL
and various other things work sanely.  So you'll be on your own for
putting together security fixes.

I've stayed away from Subversion strictly for this reason.  Once
RedHat has a supported set of binaries for it, I'm planning on
jumping ship from CVS.
