Whoa. No -- not even any reason to think this is the same problem as
the ones we're experiencing with svn.collab.net right now, really.

What version of server? Of Apache? What OS? What exact version of
Berkeley? Was the database created with the same Berkeley that you
later ran db_dump with? That error you saw

...is quite disturbing :-). Can you examine `z' and identify the bad
