Description

I am using the Perl interface to subversion. My client version is 1.6.9.

If I call SVN::Client's diff() over and over on a remote repository in a tight 
loop, it fails on the 255th request. Sometimes it fails with:

RA layer request failed: OPTIONS of 
'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk': Could not resolve hostname 
`svn.apache.org': Host not found (http://svn.apache.org) at bad-svn.pl line 17

And other times it fails with an error about "Can't find temporary directory".

I can reproduce this against svn.apache.org and svn.mozilla.org both.

Watching my /tmp directory, I see that the number of 'tempfile.#.tmp' files 
keeps growing and growing. I am guessing that upon reaching 255, svn somehow 
dies.

I will attach a script that reproduces the problem reliably.
