As far as I can tell, when the ping method is being called from within 
the new thread the ORB decides to drop out of its run loop. The main 
function then continues on its way destructing the ORB and servant. I 
don't understand why the ORB is exiting its run loop. But I'm pretty 
sure it means a bug somewhere.
