Yeah, this is a known bug: 
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr-svn/+bug/185200
We need to move away from sqlite at some point, and at that point this 
bug will go away.

You can work around it a bit by setting "use-cache = False" in 
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf.

What version of bzr-svn are you using? 2 to 4 days seems a bit much for 
an import, given that e.g. the 270k revisions in OpenOffice took around 
20 hours (faster bzr format, but still).
