Re: Dump: Filesystem has no such string

["Paul L. Suh" <ps...@apple.com>]

Folks,

This is exactly the same set of symptoms that we are observing right 
now with our trashed repository. See the thread "Berkeley DB corruption 
- 'changes' table (WORSE)" on this list. Seeing as how we've got a 
second occurrence of this, I think I'm going to open an Issue Tracker 
item on it.

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1544

Andrejs, if you could add any information you have on this to that 
item, I think it might help.
