Re: SVNADMIN Recover and Verify show good but repository still hosed???

While my SVN repo isn't wedged, and I'm not getting the 500 error, I am
getting errors during a hotcopy again.
I'll post the output of svnadmin hotcopy for reference:

svn: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
svn: bdb: Improper file close at 206/373112
svn: bdb: Recovery function for LSN 206 373112 failed on backward pass
svn: bdb: PANIC: Invalid argument
svn: bdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery
svn: bdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery
svn: bdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery

As mentioned in an earlier post, svnadmin verify and svnadmin recover
don't report any problems; but I get these errors during hotcopy (even
after running verify and recover).
Anyone see this before?

Regards,
Nick G

No real revelation as to what happened or why.
A dump and reload ran without any errors and a full rebuild of a local
working copy ran without a hitch.
