Corrupt working copies with Subversion 1.7.4 in VMWare with shared folders (two svn processes; malformed sqlite database)

Hello,

since upgrading svn from 1.6.16 (TortoiseSVN 1.6.15) to 1.7.4
(TortoiseSVN 1.7.6) my working copies are very often corrupted and clean
up can't recover them. Unfortunately this happens sporadically and I
can't reproduce it with a demo repository. But maybe you have an idea.

I'm working inside a VMWare image, accessing the host's working copies
using shared folders. I must not change this special setup.

Can two TSVNCache processes accessing the same working copy (SQLite
database) produce any damage? SVN 1.6.x worked just fine.

I upgraded all my working copies to 1.7, which worked fine. Some commits
later my main working copy stopped working. After a successful commit
the next operations showed errors: files like .svn/tmp/svn-37AB52F1 were
missing. Creating this (empty) file seemed to help for a short time.

But later errors like these showed up and I was stuck:
  svn: E155010: Pristine text 'f61edc47662633671fd1d048e2ea11b8fdaf2336'
  not present
This happened in several working copies. Clean up shows the same error, commit
  shows an empty file list.

I'm often not even able to check out a new working copy:
  Error: sqlite: database disk image is malformed
This happens often, but not always. I tried the same checkout several
times and the error appeared sometimes sooner, sometimes later in the
checkout. (My main working copy has 1 GB, checkout downloads 140 MB.)

SVN seems to work if:
- working copies are accessed on the host only (ordinary situation)
- or working copies are stored inside VMWare on drive C: (not visible
  outside)
- or Subversion is not installed on the host system

My configuration:
- Windows XP (host and guest)
- Clients: Subversion 1.7.4 (TortoiseSVN 1.7.6) (host and guest)
- Server: Subversion 1.6.2
- Repository: https://...

Can you already guess something from this description? Can you give me
further hints?

Thanks in advance
Florian
