Off the top of my head:

(a) Full moon and Venus is visible,
(b) Computer is hungover and cannot remember where table is
(c) The data is too heavy for the CPU and cannot be lifted.

Seriously, though - the most common cause of looup failure is when the lookup fails.

Lookup failure is when the lookup fails - that is, the key value being sought does not exist in the reference data set. End of story.
