apt-get install subversion
Other than that, probably not much. Pserver is a hack, the problems
are inherent in CVS and the pserver protocol, rather like telnet (you
can't fix telnet's problem without making it not-telnet). If it was just
a coding problem, I think it would have been fixed by now, it's not
something new.
