This error message is thrown by the subversion server. You might have
more luck asking for support on the Subversion mailing list
(users@subversion.tigris.org).

That said: It seems that either your server runs out of memory or your
harddrive has some bad sectors. So you can try
- run chkdsk on your server to make sure there aren't any bad sectors around
- open the process explorer (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) and watch the memory use on
your server

You might also want to split the import into several commits:
- import *only* the main dir structure (i.e. /trunk /branches /tags).
- check out from trunk a working copy
- add all the files to the working copy
- commit your working copy
