This means that some other process accessing the repository has did,
leaving locks around.  You should take the repository off-line (to
ensure that no process accesses it) and run recovery on it (with
"svnadmin recover").

However, a file size of 0xFC270000 is clearly wrong.  Are you sure the
hardware you are running Subversion on is reliable?
