You should be able to dump your repos with the same version of
Subversion with which it was created.

db_recover can take quite some time to finish. 2 hours seems a bit
much though (unless you're running on a 486 chip or your repos lives
on an Iomega Zip drive or something...) If you are using Subversion
in conjunction with Apache, **make sure you shut down Apache while the
db_recover process is running**. For some reason, this seems to help
things a bit.

Further, if you know that 'svnadmin dump' is causing your repos to
hang (presumably because it SEGFAULTS), then try running it under an
instance of gdb and debug that silly thing.
