"Insufficient space" error while diffing local mods

Hi,

svn: Can't write to stream: Espace insuffisant pour traiter cette
commande.

$ svn --version
svn, version 0.37.0 (r8509)
   compiled Jan 25 2004, 22:51:07

(The $ prompt is normal.  I changed my prompt on the Win32 CMD.EXE shell)

A translation of the error message is:
svn: Can't write to stream: Insufficient space to execute this command.

The file I am trying to diff is quite large, and I just changed most of
it.  The diff subcommand completes fine if I redirect to a file, or pipe
through more.

The diff itself is 700+ lines long, while the original file is 415 lines.
 The file is 30 KB.  I can provide the base and WC files, if necessary,
to reproduce the error.

The error did not prevent a subsequent commit.

I searched the issues database for something similar, but can't find
anything.  This looks like a platform-specific issue, though.  Can
someone reproduce this ?

Bye !

Sure, Ben, that's what I want, with an install as clean as Windows 
Uninstall allows, with a dump/load into a pristine new repos, but I 
can't compile myself and also have to find the time what will 
happen only next week - my days have just 24 hours! If folks here 
have not deleted the repos till next week that is. Else I am out of 
luck anyway. No backup would help against such a fact. I really 
didn't expect help on this from you at this time. Just as said: 
without Francois' report I would not have come to the list again with 
this at all as it seems to be something non-obvious, machine-
specific, not in the sense of faulty hardware, but a combination of 
hardware a/o software as such. I don't expect that there will be a 
solution in the sense of the word. It might go away by chance 
sometime without anyone knowing why. That's what I thought had 
happened with 0.34 and why I was just so glad that 0.34 worked, 
not once, but for about two months. Just like some weeks ago 
TSVN refused for two days in a row to commit from one specific 
folder. The commandline had no problems at all and TSVN hadn't 
neither before and since. Perhaps something in the commit 
resembled an illegal command for TSVN. Or the date interfered ... I 
am hoping for the best!

Why don't you upgrade the server to 1.0?  Lots of bugs, including
mod_dav_svn memory fixes, have been fixed in the last 3 months.  

It's not particularly useful to us to hear all about problems with old
versions of Subversion.  Seeing as how your company is about to revolt
against you, I would imagine you'd want to get help from us *sooner*
rather than later, and so you'd want to upgrade to 1.0 ASAP.

I don't like to say this amidst ver. 1.0 joy and would not have 
reported this at all if not Francois had come up with another, 
probably distantly related problem: But since two days, just shortly 
after the solution of the two missing files in one working copy, the 
repos is killed by any attempt to update or commit. Just as it had 
been so long and often last year. It times out (in TSVN) or just 
hangs (CL) and only responds to recover then, which is quite fast 
though, about 30 seconds. The server box issues a warning about 
too little virtual memory after gobbling up all GB. Thus just as it had 
been when SVN was in its 0.20s.

This is over Apache 2.48, file: seems to work still, but I am not 
absolutely sure about this. The server is 0.34, clients had been 
updated to 0.37 meanwhile, all running W2K SP2. This server had 
worked without troubles since early December when I had to move 
it to that box because of an HDD issue on my own where the repos 
had been stable for some more weeks before. No changes in hard 
or software.

At the beginning of this week there were several large commandline 
commits of 500-1500 files each, all with just 2-3 characters 
changed in 2 paragraphs. These commits also resulted in some 
failures as either Apache timed out or the server box hibernated in 
spite of the heavy network traffic to the repos (it behaves that way, 
don't ask, it's a Dell). The left over transactions had been removed, 
the failed commits split up and repeated succesfully. These large 
commits are perhaps distantly related to Francois' large diff 
problem.

As said I would not have reported this at all for it is just the old 
problem here that seemed to have disappeared though it was never 
obviously solved. I do not have the time this week to go into it, but 
hope to give it another try with ver. 1.0 next week (if W32 binaries 
are available then). However, folks here urge me to get this thing 
running or remove it. And the guy sitting at the server box - small 
peer2peer LAN here - and getting the slowdowns and virtual 
memory warnings outright threatens to simply delete the repos if I 
do not stop this error immediately. I assume to be driven out of 
SVN by end of next week ... :-(

Sadly so

This may qualify as an APR bug.

Hm, haven't we seen something like this before?  Some bug in win32
console i/o maybe?  Brane?  Sander?
