Description

In my .bashrc file I set my terminal to utf-8 mode with ESC % G. Here is an example command to drop into this mode:

echo -ne '\033%G'

After this any attempt to access the remote repo over ra_svn with ssh tunneling results in:

svn: Malformed network data
svn: Malformed network data

Everything still works perfectly in all other modes including ra_svn using plain old sockets connecting to svnserve -d when in utf-8 mode. Running in non utf-8 mode fixes the problem.

Details:

 * OpenSSH 3.1p1
 * RedHat 7.3 i386
 * svn .17.1 installed from your rpms
 * verified in both xterm and the gnome terminal
 * This seems to be independent of my locale settings
 * I am using no non-ascii characters when working with svn at this point
