On AIX, there's not only ulimit, but there are additional memory constraints for processes defined using the LDR_CNTRL environment variable. Setting LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000 means a Limit of 2GB for 32bit processes, which was (in my case) enough. The high memory requirement is probably a result of issue #3593 , http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3593 , and thus should disappear in 1.7. As a workaround, I'll dump in chunks.
