The Zope startup process is very sensible for exceptions of all
kinds (at least in debug mode, in production mode they are ignored),
including "ConflictError". Unlike during normal operation, there
is no retry after a "ConflictError".

When you have a multi ZEO client setup, you should have a single
client distinguished responsible to keep "Control_Panel/products"
up to date. There is a configuration option for this ("*enable*product*").
Set it to "on" in this distinguished client and to "off" in all others.
This avoids "ConflictError"s during startup.
