Further log review for the list:

This was a standard entry in the error log:

Then it changed to this:

I was guessing this was because there were a large number of requests
in this case.

In this case, it isn't the size of the messages, but the size of the
web page that's being built.

What do you see if you do

bin/dumpdb lists/clinic/request.db

and

bin/dumpdb data/pending.pck

(and are these files big?)
