Ssl – Problem with SVN+Apache/SSL/SSPI and large commits/imports

I am running SVN 1.6.3 over Apache 2.2 on Windows, using the most recent CollabNet Windows builds. I'm using mod_auth_sspi and mod_ssl to secure my connections and perform authorization. On small checkins and imports, none of my users have any problems doing their work. But when importing or checking in a large number of files, users get prompted for their credentials (which the server promptly rejects), followed by the error:

PUT of <path and filename> 
authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic
challenge (https://<my server name>)

We've tried using both the command line client and TortoiseSVN.

This error seems to be related to the number of files checked in, NOT the aggregate size of content committed. For example, if I try to check in 90 1-byte .txt files, the import will fail as described. It's not always 90 files — I think it has something to do with the aggregate size of the filenames. I have this nagging feeling that it SVN is trying to jam all of the filenames into a single HTTP request header or something, and Apache is rejecting it somehow.

Not that I can examine what's going on at the HTTP level using Wireshark, since everything is encrypted via HTTPS. Here's my config file, less any comments. Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions?
