	Sure; that should work fune.

	Rather odd; the impl. shouldn't exit or shut it's sockets until the
main-loop quits in your application, so: no idea why that would be so.

	One thing to do is to re-configure ORBit2 with --enable-debug=yes; make
clean ; make inst-lib in ORBit2/src/orb and export ORBIT2_DEBUG=traces,
and see what's happening between the two apps at that level.
