commit hangs on server diff spin

When we try to commit small changes to chip design schematic EDIF files
which are large (>20MB) text files we often get the bug that
the commit hangs after uploading.

Observing the server shows that diff is spinning with 100% CPU for >30
minutes.
Occasionally we also get server crashes due (in one case) to a SCSI
timeout.
But no other VM's on the same hardware have this SCSI timeout, so it is
probably not hardware.
The server is an OpenBSD release 4.3. VM. The diff is not consuming too
much memory,
just is spinning.

Committing from WinXP using TortoiseSVN 1.5. Server is running svn 1.4.4
apache module
and we are using filesystem, not Berkeley DB.

If we kill the commit job on the client and try to commit again, it
fails with out of date warning. We we try
to update the client, tortoisesvn complains about corrupted local copy.
But the commit apparently succeeds
because if we delete the local copy and update, we get the new version
that we tried to commit.

Any tips appreciated.
