Firstly (since you mention 0.33.1 and 0.34.0, and there is an
incompatibility between them), are you using the same svnadmin to create
the repository as well as load into it?

How many nodes are there in the revision it fails on? You could use
svndumpfilter to separate out the large file and load it by itself. At
the least this will reduce the test-case for debugging (and it does
sound a bit like a bug to me).

PS. I may be totally of my depth, but I would have thought the maximum
useful page file + memory was 4GB, i.e. 2GB of your file will be unused
however much memory your programs need.

HTH, Edmund.
