Are you running this on a 32-bit Windows server?
In this case, there is a 2GB per process RAM limit. Exceeding that will
cause the above messages. Apache may (or may not) recover gracefully
when it hits the 2GB RAM limit on Windows. It usually doesn't...
There are less well known 64-bit apache and mod_dav_svn versions available
if you are running Server 2008R2 (or something else that is 64-bit).
