Subversion migration problems

Here's the problem. Our old server is running Subversion 0.16.0-4003
(on a Redhat 7.3 system). We're trying to migrate to the new version
0.32.1-7505 (RPM via David Summers) on a Redhat 9.0 system.

On the 0.16.0 version, I can do a dump of our repository. However, if
I do multiple dumps, the dumps are not identical. In some cases, it
seems like bytes are offset somewhere in the middle of the dump file.

However, I can do a dump, load, checkout on the 0.16.0 version without
any problems.

The problem I'm seeing is if I do a load into the 0.32.1 server. The
load completes without any errors. But, when I do a verify or a
checkout, subversion complains about checksum errors.

I've tried this many times in different ways. I've also tried doing
an incremental dump into seperate files, and loading those files
individually. However, doing that, I get errors like so:

    * Dumped revision 675.
    * Dumped revision 676.
    WARNING: cmp_rev 676 is older than oldest dumped rev 677
    ... loading this dump into an empty repository will fail.
    * Dumped revision 677.
    WARNING: cmp_rev 677 is older than oldest dumped rev 678
    ... loading this dump into an empty repository will fail.
    WARNING: cmp_rev 677 is older than oldest dumped rev 678
    ... loading this dump into an empty repository will fail.
    * Dumped revision 678.

I'm hoping this is more a problem with the 0.32.1 version and not
0.16.0. But the fact that dump files are not identical worries me.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have no problems
using a version slightly older than 0.32.1 if someone has a
recommended "stable-enough" version. I just want to make sure our
repository is fairly stable (even if we have to do periodic dump/load
cycles) and I want our windows users to be able to use the GUI tools
for accessing the repository.

Thanks
