I've tried that, plus the following

- reinstalling perl
- reinstalling D::C versions 0.59-0.61
- deleting tapx/trunk and svn co -r XXX all the way back to 
revision 73 (revisions before that wont come out, error is
svn: REPORT request failed on '/tapx/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: Cannot replace a directory from within
)

I'll try a D::C around 0.50 or so but I feel that D::C isn't
the problem, I feel (with zero evidence) that T::P is doing 
'something' - I use D::C _all_ the time and nothing else is
having this issue. I apologise if that gets people's hackles
up, I am new here after all, but its just a feeling.

I'm going to try to make a few mod's to D::C, I plan
to tie() the Devel::Cover::DB::File blessed hash to a 
class to trace changes to that hash, to see if it does
get populated like we expect and gets crushed later by
something in T::P, or if the problem is completely in D::C.
I'm hoping to have that done over the weekend...the wife's
away, so I've got to do _something_ for the weekend! Its that
or fix the car...
