Corrupted repository db, reproducible

Hi all,

Just built the latest (yesterday July 21).

I made a booboo that scared up a bug. It is reproducible; although
probably timing related, I have not had a problem reproing it.

Start with a fresh repository on the Linux server.

From a remote Windows client using an http:// url, I imported a complete
JDK directory tree. I imported it into a new directory,
NEW_ENTRY_IN_REPOS="1.4".

While that very long import was taking place from the Windows client,
during the "Transmitting file data ...." phase, I opened a shell on the
Linux server. From a local client on the Linux server, using a file://
url, I similarly imported a complete (Linux) JDK. I (unintentionally)
imported it to the same "new" directory, named "1.4". Shortly thereafter
both imports failed. Evidently the repository db got corrupted by
simultaneously trying to import to the same new directory entry. No
further svn commands succeed against the repository; DB_RUNRECOVERY
seems to be the message.

I am not sure which of the above conditions are necessary to repro the
case, but I was able to make it break a couple of times this way.

Below are fragments of error output from the two clients.
