Thanks for your effort! I'll use gzip or bzip2 next time ;-)

I just tried running 'recover' on the repository using my windows 
machine (didn't try it before because I was under the impression that 
linux repositories didn't work on windows) and it successfully 
completed. Now, after a quick dump and re-load everything seems to be in 
order again.

Guess that's another indication that I really did screw up my 
installation. I built and installed Berkeley DB 4.3 on this machine some 
time ago, could subversion by any chance be using this version instead 
of the one from the package dependency ?

I had already thought of that and went as far as to reboot my server, 
without a change. Even after extracting the .rar archive to a second 
directory, the repository kept locking up.

Possible, though I wouldn't expect these totally silent lockups just because 
of that.

To check which version of BDB a Subversion binary is using, try running ldd 
/usr/bin/svn | fgrep libdb.

To check which version of BDB a repository is using, see 
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#divining-bdb-version
