Re: Dump: Filesystem has no such string

Folks,

This is exactly the same set of symptoms that we are observing right
now with our trashed repository. See the thread "Berkeley DB corruption
- 'changes' table (WORSE)" on this list. Seeing as how we've got a
second occurrence of this, I think I'm going to open an Issue Tracker
item on it.

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1544

Andrejs, if you could add any information you have on this to that
item, I think it might help.
