So, I found the problem ...

At Richard's suggestion, I got rid of the soft links from, and removed, 
the /usr/share/fossil directory.  The only reason it existed was to 
house soft links to user repositories in directories private to the 
user.  That was to allow the Apache user to be able to serve private 
repositories without opening up user-private directory permissions.


Then I changed the cgi-bin scripts for the repositories to reference the 
user-private directories directly.  Opened up the permissions on the 
repository files.  Still the same problem (can't open the -journal 
file).  Once I gave world-write permission to the user-private directory 
housing the .fossil files, everything was hunky dory.  Now I just have 
to dink around with the groups and such to tailor that breach of the 
user-private directories.


Also, following Richard's suggestion, I tried accessing 
$SERVER/cgi-bin/$REPOSITORY/test-env, but it produced the same page that 
I got without "/test-env" on the URL.

Some shoots in the dark... 

a) Can you try with antivirus disabled?
b) Can you try fossil clone URL_REPO repo.fsl ? (Note that repo.fos fits in 8+3 
filename)

That's a big help, thank you. Did you happen to also try cloning from
WinXP to the same WinXP box, using either file:// or http:// with
'fossil clone' ?

I was able to reproduce a similar behavior, and I think it has to
do with the size of those files.

I created a 200 MB file and a 150 MB file using dd from
/dev/arandom.  I added those to a new repository on an OpenBSD
system and was able to successfully clone it to a CentOS Linux
system but it did not successfully clone to a Windows XP SP3 system.


I was able to clone from Linux to Win8 successfully.  Do you think it 
is some kind of XP-specific problem?
I'm surprised, but yeah, its looking that way.  I just ran the test 
again using the same fossil binary on XP and Windows 7.  The clone 
failed on XP but succeeded on (64 bit) Windows 7.  It also succeeds on 
32 bit Vista but fails on Windows 2000 (I had to use a different binary 
on Windows 2000).


As a sanity check I served up a copy of Fossil's own repository in the 
same way as my test repository.  All systems were able to successfully 
clone it.


That's all for now.
