Bug report on SVN 1.8.3 Cannot allocate Memory

Hi,

We had subversion 1.8.3 installed on our test server.
svn, version 1.8.3 (r1516576)
compiled Aug 30 2013, 17:19:00 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

The OS on this server is OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago) .
Initially, testing 1.8.3 on this test server looks good but then we ran into this showstopper a few weeks ago.

svn rm URL -m "Remove test dir"
svn: E165002: Failed to start '/../../../hooks/start-commit' hook

Looking into the subversion error_log and it appears it point to the memory
[Mon Nov 18 17:28:53 2013] [error] [client 10.20.36.51] Can't start process '/data00////start-commit': Cannot allocate memory [500, #12]

Our Linux System Admin had applied different memory cache setting to the server but thus far we have no luck resolving this error.
If you could please provide any insights on why and ho we could correct this issue, I'm truly appreciated your help/

Thanks in advance for your help
