[xml/sgml] /svn/debian-xml-sgml wedged?

[Jay Berkenbilt]

I did two checkouts from

svn+ssh://alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-xml-sgml/

that worked just fine, but now I am no longer able to do checkouts.
The checkout just hangs.

If I log into alioth and run

svn ls --verbose file:///svn/debian-xml-sgml

it "hangs" without generating any output.  Running this command under
strace shows what appears to be an infinite busy-wait loop:

select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 2000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 4000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 8000})  = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 16000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout)
. . .

I haven't investigated further.  I had an svn checkout command running
the background for over 3 hours.  (I started it, went to do something
else, came back, and found it still running.)

I had to kill my svnserve processes and my svn ls processes with kill
-KILL.

This smells a bit like a Berkeley db issue.

Who needs to fix this, and where do I report it?
