I assume you know which revision is causing the problem. What does the
failing revision look like? How many text modifications, property
modifications, adds, deletes, revision properties? The commands
"svn log -vqcrNNN URL" and "svn diff -crNNN URL" may help. Is the
repository packed?

Are you on Linux? Use "ls -l /proc/NNN/fd" where NNN is the process ID
of the svnserve process to see which files are open. What files are
they?

If you set a breakpoint on replay_one_revision you should be able to
determine whether the process is leaking a small number of files for
each revision or whether the failing revision is simply opening too many
files.
