New description:

 The version of svnserve that was build with MacPorts doesn't function
 correctly with Apple's launchd. Other builds of svnserve of the same
 version 1.6.13 obtained from for example CollabNet
 [http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/community/] in binary form do work
 with launchd. As these binaries are build from the same 1.6.13 Subversion
 source I think the problem lies in the building and not in Subversion
 itself. Hence I report it here.

 Problem:

 After adding svnserve to lauchd, clients get the following message on for
 example an svn list command: "svn: Malformed network data".
 Svnserve is started by launchd but the request is not handled correctly.

 Steps to reproduce:
  - Modify repository path in attached plist to your liking
  - Store attached launchd plist in /Libray/LaunchDaemons
  - Load with ''sudo launchctl load org.tigris.Subversion.plist''
  - Start with ''sudo launchctl start org.tigris.subversion.svnserve''
  - Execute ''svn list svn://127.0.0.1/..your.repo.path../trunk''

 Replacing only the location of svnserve in the plist to the version
 downloaded and installed from either CollabNet (same version 1.6.13) or
 the older version Apple ships will solve the problem. Only the MacPorts
 version doesn't work.

 If svnserve is started manually it is working fine.
