1.5.9 hasn't been released. Do you mean 1.5.6?

I would suspect issue #1964,
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1964
Summary: You're supposed to use svn import instead of svn add
when importing large source trees.

It is interesting that you can only trigger the problem with 1.6
and not 1.5, so it might be a different problem.

But still, adding a large number of files should be done using
svn import. What does 1.6 do if you use svn import instead of svn add?
