Subversion 0.30.0 stability problems : not able to check in bigger pieces

Hi....

As you might know I got problems with subversion concerning speed and
stability... I found something new (and unfortunately bad)... At least for
me...

I am running Suse Linux 8.0 on a Dual AMD 1600MP machine with 512MB Ram.
Kernel 2.4.20.
apache2 2.0.47
berkeley db 4.1.25
subversion 0.30.0

I tried the following (checkin apache 2.0.47 source) to test stability
about 10 times and it never finished....

rm -rf /path/to/test_repos
svnadmin create /path/to/test_repos
# recover ist just to be sure due to my recent problems, but it doesn't
matter if I use it here or not
svnadmin recover /path/to/test_repos
svn co http://svnserver/svn/test_repos svn_test
cd svn_test
tar xvfz /path/to/httpd-2.0.47.tar.gz
svn add *
svn ci -m test

It starts to check in first very fast, later it gets slower and slower and
finally gets stuck...
...
Adding httpd-2.0.47/test/test_parser.c
Adding httpd-2.0.47/test/test_select.c
Adding httpd-2.0.47/test/time-sem.c
Adding httpd-2.0.47/test/zb.c
Transmitting file data
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................svn:
 RA layer request failed
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: PUT of
/svn/test_repos/!svn/wrk/e19f3a86-13c9-0310-a9ec-de66ee5e4426/httpd-2.0.47
/docs/manual/ssl/ssl_compat.xml.meta: timed out waiting for server
(http://svnserver)

The number of dots it paints varies, sometimes more sometimes less (and
therefore never fails at the same file to checkin). I am the only one who
uses svn here so there is no concurrency.

And sometimes something also appears to segfault...
from apache's error_log:
[Tue Oct 07 09:11:18 2003] [notice] child pid 23267 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)
It appears soon before "svn: RA layer request failed" Not always but about
20% of my tests....

Yet it appears to me that 0.30.0 is not really useable...
Is someone else also having these problems?

Roland
