Are there different error codes? What does "99" mean?

I photograph weddings and portraits (40 yrs now), just a little bit
of who and what I am and do. Anyway I was doing a wedding assignment
this weekend (shooting with the 20D and 1Ds). The 20 started
beautifully (had worked fine all week-various other assignments),
then it just did not record two images. I turned it off and on and
if worked fine. Then as I was about to photograph a flower girl I
got an Error 99 (had seen this a time or two during the week) so I
usually just turn off the camera and turn it back on and this will
go away. Not this time-off with the ProT flip bracket and out with
the batteries for a full 30 seconds- before the beast would work
again. So I left the flip bracket off for the rest of the
assignment, only two other times did it not record and image, one
time the camera keep saying it was busy and would not function-
turned it off and back on and all was fine- even kept the image that
was last shot. Had one more Error 99 for the evening. Needless to
say it is on it's way to CPS for a look over. All the images I made
at this event are fine (no images that would not open- checked all
675 of them before my head went to the pillow). I've heard some
others ask about Error 99-I must say this is the only time I've had
this crazy a time with the 20, had it happen 2 or 3 times with a 10
(in two yrs) and only once or twice with the 1Ds in 2 yrs. What is
the story and should I expect the same thing with the 30D that is on order.
