Disconnect error while running re-indexing job.

Hi,
I have a 24Gb database with half a dozen indexes against various
tables which is failing during the reindexing task (as part of the
maintenance plan) at least 80% of the time.
The error given in the logs is:
"[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 01000)] Error 0: This server has
been disconnected. You must reconnect to perform this operation."
Now, I am aware that this means the server disconnected or became
unavailable during the re-indexing, but I cannot find any logical
reason why this should happen. There are no access violations, either
in the SQL logs or the event viewer. No-one manually stopped SQL
Server. No other part of the maintenance plan has any issues. There
are no other errors around the time of this failure.
If anyone has any suggestions as to why this might be occurring, I'd
be grateful to hear them.
Thanks in advance,
Andy.
One of the things I would check is the autogrow/autoshrink options... If
those options are enabled AND your database picks an inopportune time to
grow (or shrink) errors like that are possible.
