I turned off apache and then ran 'svnadmin' with
root privilege and it (svnadmin dump) now works.
:-) Thanks for the advice.
I don't understand why I have to be root to run svnadmin,
but if I'm not it wedges the DB and fails in different places.
For example, when I ran 'svnadmin dump' as my own uid,
it made it through to REV 102 of 425 (youngest REV).
Does it make sense to use the 'dump' output as a more
reliable backup format than 'hot-backup' since you can
always 'load' it into the latest version of svn ?
