estimate) 5-10% of the time.

I've seen those kind of problems at least in one other product that performs
remote HTTP calls, and it's probable that there's an issue related to what
happens to the existing persistent data when a remote call retrieves an
error.

If you can confirm that that is a recurrent behaviour on a fresh Zope
installation, you might report a bug to Kedai (KebasData's author).
