Hmmm, you may have to rebuilt against an APR compiled with largefile
support ("-DLARGEFILE", maybe? not sure).
We really need a FAQ item about this; if you do rebuild, would you
consider writing one? If so, send it as a patch to the dev@ list,
putting "[PATCH]" in the subject line. Further hints available at
http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-list-guidelines.html#patches.
Good luck,
