RE: Hotcopy failure

Thanks, the response was timely and accurate. The problem was as you
and the docs described, but for a different reason. The docs mention a
problem when upgrading from one version of Berkeley to another. In both
cases I built Berkeley 4.3 from the same tar file. I recently upgraded
my hardware and OS. So, I moved from a system where I had built apache,
Berkeley and svn on RedHat 8.0 to one where I did so on Fedora Core 4.

The versions of the things I built didn't change. I used the same tar
files actually. What did change were the tools used to build them and
the underlying OS libraries. Apparently, this resulted in the same
symptom as upgrading the Berkeley library version. It seems logical
that this could cause a problem.

So, the cleanup of my unused db logs and the recovery action solved it.
