IIRC, each client needs to issue connection.sync() if it is to pick up
updates that were made to the objects it has loaded. sync() invalidates
these objects from the local cache and makes the client refetch them.
sync() also interrupts any transactions in process, again IIRC. Somebody
@zope.com might be able to explain better.

In the meantime, harvest the mailing list archives for data; this has been
discussed many times before (even might be a FAQ)

Looks like the problem sync() solves.

Take care,
