I've run the tests from 1.6.1 with -v, sh -x and sh -x + -v and dumped the results at http://jupiterrise.com/tmp

You'll find results from one more test (t9106) which I didn't mention and which is also giving me problems but only with rhel4/x86_64 and svn 1.1.4. It should be noted that this test has never worked for me with this config.
