Oof, that can't be good. Here's what's probably happening. 'svnadmin
recover' grabs an exclusive lock on the repository (I can't remember off hand
if 'svnadmin verify' does the same). If svnadmin is dying like this, the
exclusive lock is never freed, and the apache ends up waiting for the
repository to become free. It, of course, never does. Hence, the reason you
keep timing out.
The question to answer is: why is the machine running out of memory? Just how
much memory is it using during 'svnadmin recover' and 'svnadmin verify'? How
much memory do you have on the machine? Perhaps answers to some of this will
help to track down the problem, and point us to something to help svnadmin
stop using too much memory (if that is the problem).
