Malformed representation skeleton

I work with the last svn version 1.0.9 and recently 1.1.1 and apache
2.0.52_3 on FreeBSD

When I try to dump my repository, I have the following message:
"Malformed representation skeleton" or "Malformed node-revision
skeleton"

like this
$> svnadmin dump /home/svn/default > /dev/null
* Dumped revision 0.
* Dumped revision 1.
* Dumped revision 2.
....
* Dumped revision 221.
* Dumped revision 222.
* Dumped revision 223.
svn: Malformed node-revision skeleton

$> svnadmin dump -r 225:HEAD /home/svn/default > /dev/null
* Dumped revision 238.
* Dumped revision 239.
* Dumped revision 240.
svn: Malformed representation skeleton

I try to recover it with svnadmin or db_recover with no change.

How correct it ?

before thx

BDB version 4.2 on 1 processor

I have several repositories, with the same usage frequency, and just
one was broken.

Neither of the above, some kind of intermittent hardware fault in the disc 
or memory subsystem would be my best guess.

Just for my own piece of mind, was there a reason the data had been
replaced with random data? Was it Subversion's doing? Or some
extra-curricular editing?

Resolved in private conversation.

Problem was a number of 4-byte groups which had been replaced with random 
data!

This needs manual analysis and repair.

Tar up the repository, put it on a web/ftp site, email me the URL.

I'll see what I can do.
