yet another "can't read length line"

Hi there,

I have a problem with a broken version in my SVN repository.

Since I was preparing to upgrade to subversion-1.4, I tried
to dump the repository and I got the following message:

svnadmin: Can't read length line in file '/srv/svn/db/revs/12425'

I checked the list, but no solution I've tried worked.

A. trying to dump everything but not 12425 gave me the message
above, here is my session

> # svnadmin dump /srv/svn -r 0:12424 --incremental > D-1
> ...
> # svnadmin dump /srv/svn -r 12426:HEAD --incremental > D-2
> * Dumped revision 12426.
> ...
> * Dumped revision 12434.
> svnadmin: Can't read length line in file '/srv/svn/db/revs/12425'

B. trying to fix the repository with "fsfverify" failed also, here
is my session (the full output is in the attachment)

> # ./fsfsverify/fsfsverify.py -f /srv/svn/db/revs/12425

I'm using
        - svn, version 1.3.1 (r19032)
        - neon, version 0.24.7
        - libapr1/libaprutil1, version 1.2.7
        - FSFS format

As an additional information, one month ago I reorganized the
repository, meaning I changed the tree moving several projects
from one directory to another...

Could anybody help me to recover the repository? I'm not tied to the
version 12425, but now we are at version 13293 which represents about
one month of work.

If someone needed it, I could provide a link to the broken revision
file...

Thank you for any help!
