Do you have this issue on Windows 7? If yes, you might have triggered issue #3574 (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3574) The last status update I got from Microsoft is that they intend to release a patch + knowledge base article in June. The only problem with this issue is: It can also be a real hardware issue! (See http://tinyurl.com/w7corrupt for more background on issue #3574) Bert
