What version of db4? If it's 4.1, then you need to seriously consider getting
Subversion compiled with db 4.2. I've seen more and more problems with 4.1
popping up on the list.

Well, it would be consistent with the db 4.1 reports I've been seeing on the
list. The problems seem to happen somewhat randomly, and there have been
several instances where everything ran fine, until months down the road when
db 4.1 finally did something strange and corrupted the repository. If have
4.1, spend sometime and recompile everything using 4.2. You won't regret it.

I'm afraid that I can't help you much here. The repositories I have are all
small enough that I dump them every night, put them into a tarball, and both
backed up on tape and shipped to another server. Someone else on this list
might have a better suggestion for doing this with larger projects.
