It's "Previous request not completed" and my project hits that all the 
time. I've tried all kinds of workarounds with only some success. I'm very 
much hoping the new external will help eliminate those. We see it routinely 
on slow or unstable connections.

I do hope the external throws the same error so it will show up in the log. 
BTW I'm not surprised you didn't see the error in the LC error list, it 
isn't an engine error but rather is sent directly from libURL.
