Help! Urgent problem.

A user just checked in a very large commit in r5454. The db/revs/5454 file
is 2.6G. Now, when anyone tries to make another commit, they get this error
from the pre-commit hooks:

svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:
/tools/bin/svnlook changed /home/svn/svnrepo_links/xyz -t 5454-1
svnlook: Can't set position pointer in file
'/home/svn/svnrepo_links/xyz/db/revs/5454': Value too large for defined data
type

I disabled my pre-commit and was able to make another commit, but then then
the post-commit scripts failed in the same way.

Updates seem to work just fine.. What the heck is going on here?

The svn server is running RHEL 4, update 4 with Apache 2.2.3 and Subversion
1.4.3. Repository is mounted over NFS.

thanks,
David
