Repos corruption continued

Hi all out there!

In regard of the repos corruption reported before there has appeared
something that might be simple coincidence or not:

A newly created repos (SVN .30) worked for some time. Today it
became corrupted, too, just as the other one originally created
under .27 and continuing to becoming corrupted again and again.

The coincidence is that it happened to both repos with revisions
being in their 50s.

Otherwise their history is relatively similar:

- Repos created, folder structure imported (direct import did not
work, timed out, ended in error);

- 5300 files (4500 HTML, 700 JPG, rest GIF, JS, CSS etc.)
committed in chunks of 100 to 500 files;

- several minor commits;

- after site-wide changes all HTML files were committed again, split
up as before, commits this time stretched over three days, the
change was really minor this time, one line of approximately 100
characters added compared to several partly larger changes with
the first repos (no regret, server side includes would not have
helped this time);

- some more minor commits, revisions reached the 50s and the
repos became corrupted.

Different from the first repos I have not touched the unused log files.
The strings file is 100 MB (first repos: 130 BM), the web project
itself 70 MB, repos are on NTFS partition with ample space,
system W2K SP2, access per http.

Does this by chance ring any bells? Otherwise I'll lay aside SVN
for the time being till I get more RAM for the server machine
(currently 128, then 512, according to Dell the maximum for the
P4).

At least from following the list I got the impression that SVN is
perhaps not particularly happy with large imports/commits. It
seems to me that irrespective of the system there are latent
problems. Not with the final size of the repos or the number of files,
but with commits.
