Right. Some people are unfortunate enough to have multiple errors in
your rev. I've had to run it upwards of 14 times to fix all the
errors. And, there are some that fsfsverify won't fix (it'll attempt,
but ultimately fails).

To answer several of your questions:
  1) Why doesn't fsfsverify fix all the errors? Because it really
can't proceed once it finds the first corruption. It could attempt to
fix and reparse, but I prefer to be in control of how many times the
tool is run.

  2) Are you screwed? Probably not. It may take several attempts
before fixing all the errors. Additionally, there may be errors in
other revisions. Is svnadmin failing in the same revision as before?

I can probably take a quick look at the revision, but you need to get
it to me ASAP as I'm at a conference, and will be leaving in a short
while. If the file is big, post it somewhere and give me a url,
otherwise email it directly to me.
