Problem Shutting Down the ORB

[Craig Wright <spiral cs unm edu>]

Hi,

I have a multi-threaded application. In one thread I do a
CORBA_ORB_run. This thread then remains busy for the rest of the 
execution. When the program starts to exit I call
CORBA_ORB_shutdown(orb, false, ev) from my main thread... ev returns 
with no exception...

The only problem is that the ORB doesn't exit. I've done this before and 
it does exit, but shutdown is called from the same thread that start was 
called from. I suspect the multiple threads could be the problem. Has 
anyone encountered this before?

My stack trace for the ORB thread, after calling CORBA_ORB_shutdown, 
looks like this. Note, my main thread waits for this one to exit before 
exiting itself.
