The shared memory functionality is different across the two systems,
so yes, a portion of the format differs.

I'm not sure if anyone has experimented with deleting the __db.* files
from /path/to/repos/db, and then running 'svnadmin recover' on the
repository. I suppose this could solve the problem for you (unless
the log.* files -- which you most certainly don't want to delete --
also have platform-specific formats).
