It sounds like you have omniIDL stubs statically linked with both DLLs. The 
problem may be that the STUBS are being unloaded when DLL A is unloaded.

If this is the case, you might try moving your stubs to a common DLL that 
is shared by all other loaded DLLs. This way, the stubs (should!) remain in 
memory until the last DLL referencing them is unloaded.

We have client AND server stubs in a single NT DLL, which is shared by 
multiple clients and servers. It was a bit tricky getting the configuration 
right the first time, but it has been working well for us for quite a 
while. (By the way, we are still running 2.7.1, if that makes any 
difference).

Hope this helps,
