I just grabbed 2.9.1 and recompiled (I was using 2.9.0).

I've been compiling with --enable-debug=yes and exported ORBIT2_DEBUG=refs
but I'm not seeing anything tell me what type of object is leaked (it would
help!)

Is CORBA_Object_unref a wishfull thinking method (can't find it)?  or just
the gist of what should I should be doing?  If I try to release the ORB
duing the client shutdown I get the assertion failure in do_unref.

I'll take a look at the test code, that will probably help.
