sql server replication : Help!! Trans log is growing and Log Reader can't connect

I have a SQL 2000 box with latest service pack as a publisher and
distributor. The log reader agent is not able to connect and as a result the
transaction log is growing.

On the other hand, there is a connection to the distrubtion database and it
appears to be an orphan connection from the log reader agent. I have killed
the orphan connection several times but that has not resolved the issue.
Following is the error I am getting:

SPID 30: transaction rollback in progress. Estimated rollback completion:
100%. Estimated time remaining: 0 seconds.

I believe if I can kill the connection, I will be able to start the log
reader agent successfully. I had the exact same issue yesterday and rebooting
the server did the trick. It is a production box so I can't afford to reboot
everyday like this.

What happens when you do a sp_repltrans in publisher database? You need to
set up a verboselevel to 2 and see what kind of output you get in output
file. That would be the start.

it probably is a phantom. See if you can start up the log reader agent
again.
