svndumpfilter - broken pipe

Hi,

I'm trying to remove a folder from a repository using the method
explained in the book: dump | filter | load.

I'm facing the following problem: there's a certain revision where a lot
of data was commited (about 700 MB), and when the process reachs that
revision, a 'Broken pipe' message is issued and operation is interrupted.

I've tried doing it in steps: 'svnadmin dump > file' is successful, but
then 'svndumpfilter < file' prints an 'Aborted' and fails.

I don't know if this is related with the pipe size, that message can be
printed just because svndumpfilter dies and hence - the pipe is broken
for svnadmin. I know that the pipe size limit can't be changed via ulimit.

Any suggestions to try? How to workaround this?

Thanks in advance,

Alex.
