Depends a lot on your Plone and the specific software. It sounds like
you're running something that turns read-requests into write-requests
which is a bad idea.

I remember old Plone version to have issues with that. The Plone people
have figured this out in general and there's probably nothing wrong with
the ZODB in your case. I suggest asking some Plone people directly.
