	Ok - the root cause of this is that you're unreffing the ORB without
doing a CORBA_ORB_destroy - I've added a more helpful warning to this
effect in CVS HEAD and gnome-2-2 branches. Adding that makes it work
nicely.

	That's very odd. I can't repeat this here with my ORBit2/linc [ both
from the gnome-2.2 branch ]. More information appreciated.

	The ORBIT2_DEBUG will only work for the app linking to ORBit2 - so it
needs to be exported before running that; also it prints to stderr, so
if you're doing: ./server 2>ior - or something, the debug will be
appended to the 'ior' file ;-) [ my problem initially ]

	If you're doing a tutorial, you prolly want to check out the python
ORBit2 bindings which (I believe) are rather good :-)

	HTH,
