This error means you've run out of lockfiles, I think. (Is that
correct, Sander?) That's strange, because this error is exactly the
bug that 0.28.2 is supposed to fix (compared to 0.28.0 and 0.28.1.)
Are you *sure* that your mod_dav_svn module is 0.28.2?

I think you need to run recovery, yes.

Unless you understand BerkeleyDB *very* well, this sounds like risky
behavior to me. I wouldn't do that.
