[kepler-dev] svn: Compression of svndiff data failed

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Derik,
The machine that handles svn for the ptII repository needed a reboot.  
It had been up for 90 days and was running out of swap.

I was able to verify the problem you reported.

I started svnadmin verify, but it ran out of memory part way, which is a 
sure sign of trouble.
dmesg should various problems with swap.

I believe that the issue is that Apache under Solaris 10 leaks memory.

I've restarted source.eecs.berkeley.edu and the command completed for me.

Can you try it again and let me know if there is a problem?

Thanks,

_Christopher
