The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

Does it mean that on a 32bit OS I am stuck hopelessly? A dump/load

BTW here are the limits for the svn user:

$ whoami
svn
$ limits
Resource limits (current):
  cputime infinity secs
  filesize infinity kB
  datasize 524288 kB
  stacksize 65536 kB
  coredumpsize infinity kB
  memoryuse infinity kB
  memorylocked infinity kB
  maxprocesses 5547
  openfiles 11095
  sbsize infinity bytes
