Definitely a problem.  Myth is losing connections to the database (where 
all data except the actual recordings is stored).  My recommendation is 
to search the lists.  If using MySQL 5, search for "MySQL 5"--this is a 
common occurrence on an improperly configured MySQL 5 system, but there 
are many other possible causes.
