Dead repository with 0.35.0-to-be

I have a scheduled update running every night that updates my APC (Archive of
Perl Changes) repository with any patches applied. I just recreated it last
weekend (using 0.34.0) and the autoupdates have run fine for several days (using
0.35.0-to-be).

Last night, however, I was also dumping an old copy of the APC (from 0.27.0
days) into a new repository (on a different drive) when the auto-update started.
  I see lines these lines in the log:

> 2003-12-17 00:04:35.946815500 svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
> 2003-12-17 00:04:35.946878500 svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///var/svn-repository/perl5/branches/maint-5.6'
> 2003-12-17 00:04:35.946909500 svn: Berkeley DB error while opening 'changes' table for filesystem /var/svn-repository/perl5/db:
> 2003-12-17 00:04:35.946912500 Cannot allocate memory

and now the repository itself is totally dead:

> $ svnadmin recover /var/svn-repository/perl5
> Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
> svn: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

Even running Berkeley's db_recover yields little more than several screens of this:

> db_recover: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
> db_recover: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
> ...
> db_recover: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
> db_recover: DB_ENV->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

So it is completely hosed.

Should I wipe it out and restart, or does anyone want to take a crack at fixing it?
