Well, I tried a few things in hoping of creating a similar problem. I wrote a
script yesterday that created a repository with 23,000 revs and was about
2.4GB in size and averaging 100K a commit. All ran fine on my machine with
both 'svnadmin recover' and 'svnadmin verify'.

I find it disturbing that you can't finish verifying the repository. I
suppose that means you are also unable to dump it as well?

Is there some way I could have a copy of the repository? I'm really
interested in what is causing svnadmin to use so much memory. Watching the
verify process on my computer the memory consumption was at a constant level.

Also, can you make a copy and attempt to access the repository using file://
access? I'm curious if this presents the same problem that it does over
http:// access. If you get the same behavior, then it'll be easier to track
down the problem using that method with debugging tools.
