A search over the mailing list archives (for "ConflictError")
will show hundreds of messages related to your problem....

Probably, several requests try to modify the same session related object =
at
the same time. Due to peculiarities of the session implementation,
a read access to a session causes writing as well.

Reduce the amount of session access to the cases when you really
need it. Especially, try not to access the session in all frames
of a frameset...

Occasional conflicts are unavoidable and should not harm
(as requests are automatically retried).

That's strnage. The user should get such a page only when conflicts
happen with very high frequency (the request is retried 2 or 3 times
before it fails).
