1.2.0 is a bit out-of-date, in particular it has the fsfs multi-thread
lock bug. If you are using a threaded httpd or svnserve then it may
be worth while upgrading to 1.2.3. I don't know if it's the cause of
your problem, the bug showed up as a race if multiple commits occurred
at the same time and it's possible that it would cause problems for
the post-commit scripts.

Attach a debugger and get a stack trace. On Linux show us what gdb's
bt command displays:
$ gdb -p <NNN>
(gdb) bt
(gdb) q
