[Zope] Trying to trap ConflictError

[Stefan H. Holek]

First, you should not - ever - catch a ConflictError. It is essential  
for ConflictErrors to be propagated to the ZPublisher.

Second, the conflict is detected at commit time, which happens at the  
very end of the REQUEST. This likely is a while after your method has  
executed.
