Try to run it from the console instead, if your indexer runs for a long time then you will see this error, you can clean your cookies and login again to the backend to avoid seen this error.

To run the indexer form the console: 

php shell/indexer.php #this will print the usage information, check it out
php shell/indexer.php info #this will display the available indexes

Then: 

php shell/indexer.php --reindex catalog_url

If it fails for some reason then you will be able to see the error.
