seemingly corrupt db?

I am a very new subversion users (actually, user of version control
at all), and I seem to have run into a problem. I have a small
project which I decided to try subversion on, and things had been
going ok for a few weeks, and a few revisions/commits. I use
svnserve and svn+ssh to access the repository remotely. Running Mac
OS X versions (1.1.1 and 1.0.9) installed via fink.

As I mentioned, everything seemed fine for a while, but a few days
ago I lost access to the server --- when ever I tried any svn command
I got the response:

myBox:~/work/ASME gbsmith$ svn log
gbsmith@my.server's password:
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
myBox:~/work/ASME gbsmith$

So, I logged into the machine directly and tried to update a local
working copy, to which I got the following errors:

my.server:~/ASME gbsmith$ svn log
svn: Berkeley DB error while checkpointing after Berkeley DB
transaction for filesystem /Users/gbsmith/svn-work/ASME/db:
Invalid argument
svn: bdb: Ignoring log file:
/Users/gbsmith/svn-work/ASME/db/log.0000000029: magic number 0, not
40988
svn: bdb: DB_ENV->log_put: 29: Invalid argument
svn: bdb: txn_checkpoint: failed to flush the buffer cache Invalid argument
Abort trap
my.server:~/ASME gbsmith$

not knowing what else to try, I tried a couple of admin commands to
see if anything worked:

my.server:~/svn-work/ASME gbsmith$ svnadmin lstxns
/Users/gbsmith/svn-work/ASMEsvn: Berkeley DB error while

Sorry for the longish post.... Any insight would be much appreciated --

Thanks,
