Catastrophic database recovery with db log files

Hi,

About the log.0000* files, the svnbook states :

"Without some sort of automatic log file removal in place, log files will
 accumulate as you use your repository. This is actually somewhat of a
 feature of the database system___you should be able to recreate your entire
 database using nothing but the log files, so these files can be useful for
 catastrophic database recovery"

Well, I've been bitten by the Fedora Core 1 db 4.1 NTPL problem, and have
a corrupt "copies" file in my repository :

# svnadmin recover /svn
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
 
Recovery completed.
svn: Berkeley DB error while opening 'copies' table for filesystem /svn/db:
Invalid argument

I don't have a backup of the very latest content, but I do have all the
logfiles created ever since the repository was started, so I'd be really
interested in being able to "replay" all of those. Can anyone point me to
an explanation on how to do it?

Matthias
