          Hi Javier,

          We have reviewed the server and think we have found the source of the issue.

          The combination of our current SVN server + Apache + large svn repositories + the TortoiseSVN client seem to generate memory leaks on the server. This gradually depletes the server memory until none is available. On average it takes 2 weeks for the server to run out of memory.

          https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/273859

          Fixes applied:

          • We have updated the Subversion server that came by default with the system (1.4.6) to the latest stable version (1.6.9).
          • We have set the Apache directive MaxMemFree to 512 kb. This should 'reset' any huge memory consumption processes before they start leaking memory. However, large repository operations might be a bit slower than before.

          We are doing some tests with TortoiseSVN locally. We'll also monitor the memory usage on the server during the following week.

          Tested for one week without further memory issues
