Ahh, I didn't realise that, I thought you were using fsfs.

It still looks like a locking problem to me, and it's quite possible
that mod_dav_svn and libsvn_fs_base exercise different paths through
BDB, after all mod_dav_svn doesn't use BDB's transactional interface.

So I'd still suggest running the BDB regression tests (and note there
are some configure options that affect BDB locking).
