If you have read my other post about a 'broken pipe', you'll know that
for some reason svndumpfilter dies when trying to exclude a particular
folder tree from my (big) repo. (Oddly, if I only *keep* that folder, it
works. That suggest the problem is out of that folder).

So, I'm alone here? No solution or workaround?
