Yes, strace and cygcheck both indicate that cygexpat-0.dll is missing 
and should be in /bin. Don't see it there. Just see an "expat" package 
in the installer, no libexpat0 as pointed out here:

Sounds like there is a packaging problem.

Tried going back to svn 1.4.5-1 instead of latest 1.4.5-2 with same result.
