	It means (I think) that you are doing a CORBA_ORB_run in a different
thread to that in which you initialised the ORB. Of course - this may
well not be a serious problem in fact; but ...

	The root cause of the problem is that this is a grotesquely bad area of
the CORBA spec (AFAIK) and that main-loop handling / thread termination
etc. is just really dire.

	If you have done some threaded calls / setup the THREAD_PER_REQUEST
hint stuff you already have an I/O thread idling around ready to
dispatch incoming calls - so your server process doesn't need to do a
CORBA_ORB_run; it can just wait on some exit condition, or run the glib
mainloop or whatever.

	Of course; I guess we could bin that condition without too many
problems as well - but I forget why I put it there - which makes me
slightly nervous.

	HTH,

		Michael.
