SQL connection down, e-mailed stack trace not as expected

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Pause or stop the SQL Server service
2. Configure Elmah for both SQL Server and e-mail logging
3. Go to a webpage that tries to access the database

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In the e-mail, I expect to see the stack trace for the original 
exception.  Sometimes I do, but sometimes I get one similar to this (the 
Sql error varies depending on the error):

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired.  The timeout period 
elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not 
responding.
   at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.GetConnection(DbConnection 
owningObject)
   at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection
(DbConnection owningConnection)
   at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection
(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory)
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()
   at Elmah.SqlErrorLog.Log(Error error) in 
c:\builds\ELMAH\src\Elmah\SqlErrorLog.cs:line 157
   at Elmah.ErrorLogModule.LogException(Exception e, HttpContext context) 
in c:\builds\ELMAH\src\Elmah\ErrorLogModule.cs:line 120

Sometimes I get the original error in addition to 10 to 40 of these with 
the same timestamp.  I could filter these out, but just today I got one of 
these with no e-mail of the original error, which is more troubling.  Does 
Server.GetLastError() change if Elmah causes an exception while logging to 
the database?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Elmah 1.0.11211.0, Windows Server 2008, IIS 7
