 I think your problem may be caused by the GNATS database being locked. Such 
 a lock might be left after running gen-index, for instance. Look for a file 
 called gnats.lock in the gnats-adm directories of your databases and delete it.
 
 Gnatsweb should catch this, and I have identified the problem. However, I 
 don't plan to do any more work on Gnatsweb 2.x unless more serious bugs 
 surface. I believe that Gnats and Gnatsweb 4 aren't suffering from this 
 problem.
 
 Please let me know how this turns out.
