Okay. We've seen this happen on svn.apache.org, which today runs
httpd-2.3/FreeBSD/zfs, and was probably running this or a similar stack
when the problems triggered there.

Get xxd.exe from http://www.vim.org/ and cat.exe and sed.exe from
http://gnuwin32.sf.net (or from Cygwin). Delete from the script the
line that uses the 'head' command.

Or just reimplement it in your language of choice. Basically it runs
'svnlook', parses out the noderev-id as '%s.%s.%s', parses \3 as
'r%d.%d', and opens revision file \1 at offset \2 --- accounting for the
fact that that revision may have been 'svnadmin pack'ed.

If I spoke too fast, feel free to ask.
