Well, that would be very helpful for us in debugging, if you spot a
pattern.

If you just want the problem solved, I suggest switching to FSFS.
Subversion's use of Berkeley DB is not quite as the Berkeley docs
recommend (I phrase it this way because I don't want to see
Berkeley/Sleepycat blamed for what is really Subversion's problem).
The bugs are frustratingly idiosyncratic: some people never get them,
others get them once in a blue moon, some (like you) apparently get
them on a regular basis. For people in that last category, FSFS is
probably the way to go.
