First I get

* Dumped revision 0.
* Dumped revision 1. # That's 600 files.

Then I get

Checked out revision 1.

Is it simply that the svnadmin process uses enough memory to push the
machine over its memory limit, and this causes the httpd process to
fail? Is there a message in the Apache log about a process being
killed? Or if you are running Linux there may be a message in the
system log from the kernel OOM killer.

However, running out of memory wouldn't explain why the __db files are
missing.
