No,  the svn port does not appear in the list of listening ports.

I have upgraded the svn to 1.4.2.  Nothing changed.  I have also
tried to run the svnserve with the options:
svnserve -r /data/svn -X --foreground --listen-port=9009

but it is not giving any kind of hint about what could be wrong. The bad thing
is that svnserve doesn't seem to create any kind of log file. And
it also doesn't have command line options for increasing the
verbosity .
