RESOLUTION:

Use a low privileged Domain account to run SQL Server Full-Text Search service and restart the service. Please have a look at the following article for more information http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504(v=sql.90).aspx

In our environment the SQL Full text search service was running under Local system account. Changing it to run with the SQL Account resolved the issue.

We monitored the file size and it stopped growing.

Hope this helps you to resolve the issue in your environments.
