Do you have this issue on Windows 7?

If yes, you might have triggered issue #3574
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3574)

The last status update I got from Microsoft is that they intend to release a
patch + knowledge base article in June.

The only problem with this issue is: It can also be a real hardware issue!
