svn client hangs on db access

Hello,

all of a sudden when I was going to do an "svn update" today svn started
hanging. I can do "svn status" but not an "update". Probably becauset he
former is local. I did a strace and got:

open("/home/infidyne/svn/db/__db.001", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fcntl64(0x3, 0x2, 0x1, 0x2) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x40133000
close(3) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 2000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 4000}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 8000}) = 0 (Timeout)

... etc.

Looks like it's waiting on a db lock.

The only strange thing I've noticed is that there were a bunch of commit
message temp-files laying around. I don't know why; and I don't think
I've seen it before.

But last time I used svn on this repository everything worked when I
left it, and no one else is using it.

Should I just do one of those db cleanups that are documented, or might
this be a bug worth investigating? If the latter, what information would
be useful?

The svn binary is built from revision 2772 as far as I can tell.
