Full-Text Search stops working

Hi There
I have a single server with Win 2000 Server and SQL 2000 SP3a.
I have a database with 1 full-text index, and everything works fine.....
BUT!!
Suddenly the search stops working. There are no errors in the eventlog and
all services are running fine.
The only way I can start the search, is to reboot the server !!
Whats wrong !?!?
/Peter
are there any messages in the gatherer logs?

The index is only populated once.
