The previous installation (the one running 1.4.X) was all on 32 bit hardware (and obviously software).
The new hardware is 64-bit capable, but I've yet to track down the compatible 64-bit svn binaries.
I think also this is a memory leak issue, I'm pretty confident that moving to 64-bit svn binaries (and apache) would result in fewer crashes, but the same crashes none the less.
Thanks for the suggestions though. Do you know off the top of your head where I may find these so's?

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).
