Would it be possible for you to make your abnormally large repository
available for debugging?

If so, please run the following:

cd path/to/your/repos/db
db_checkpoint -1
for i in *s; do
   db_dump -kp $i | bzip2 -c > $i.bdbdump.bz2
done

and place the .bdbdump.bz2 files on a web/ftp server.

Max.
