If I were you, I'd update to 0.36.0 -- else, you're in for at least
one more dump/load in the future (we changed the repository format in
0.34.0).

Hmm... that kind of non-deterministic behavior shouldn't happen. I
mean, back then I think 'svnadmin dump' would create files in which
the dumped paths were somewhat randomly (from a human's POV) sorted,
but on a single machine doing repeated 'svnadmin dump's, I would have
thought that even this "randomness" was perfectly repeatable.

Does none of this suggest to you that perhaps you have some underlying
disk problem?

These aren't errors, they are warnings. Not an indication of problems
-- an indication that if you don't know what you doing, you might run
into problems later.
