[Zope] strange database read conflict error

All objects as the same type of this one that generates conflicts are
displayed using the same template that contains the same elements (js,
images, etc.).

I can access any object in the same folder
(http://metropotam.ro/Opera/) and I will get no read conflicts (e.g.
http://metropotam.ro/Opera/loc8982879061-Sala-Palatului/). I have
conflicts when I access this particular object
http://metropotam.ro/Opera/loc8982879061-Sala-Palatului/.

If the problem is related with some piece of code I can't find any
logical explanation for this behavior. ... or maybe I am looking in
the wrong place.

Also, told you before, I even erased the object from the Data.fs and
then packed it. Conflicts stopped. After I have created a new object
and rename it with the old id the conflicts showed up again...

Thanks,
Dragos
