Subversion Ate My Repository

From: Matt Navarre <mnavarre_at_cox.net>

I've been having problems with subversion dumping core when trying to do a
large commit on the local machine (file:/// URI). This leaves the DB needing
recovery. I also just upgraded to 1.0.4, and when running svnadmin recover
svnadmin dumped core. now all the __db.* files are *gone* is there anyway to
recover?

This is on RedHat 9, svn 1.0.4. The recovery was run as the repository owner.

Here's what happens on commit:
<225 rasputin.lan/src/HDF5># svn ci -m"Cleanup DOS damage" .

and recovering the DB:
[svnadmin@rasputin ~]$ svnadmin recover /usr/local/svn/repos
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After the crash:

it was a hard sell, since he's a database person, and as far as I've seen, 
once those database worms eat into your brain, it's hard to ever get anything 
practical done again. To a database person, every nail looks like a thumb. Or 
something like that. - jwz
