I can confirm that on my end. I had those freezes in various Subversion versi=
ons and FreeBSD versions over the past could of years where the client and th=
e server are on the same machine accessed via HTTPS. I always assumed that is=
 was my setup and never analyzed it. It is hard to reproduce. Most of the tim=
e it has happended when:
* Updated 100+ working copies at once in a loop
* Performed "mvn release:prepare release:perform"

I'd behappy to trace when this happens again, but need to know what exactly. =
truss? Wireshark?
