I second the previous comments. Switch from BDB to FSFS.
Since upgrading to 1.2, Subversion crashed and locked the repository
about once a week on average while I was using BDB, and it took a
combination of Berkley's db_recover and svnadmin recover to get it
back. It was a pain especially when I was out of town or on vacation
and had to keep everybody back in the office happy.
I've had no problems since switching to FSFS a few weeks back.
