omniORB is fully multi-threaded, and services incoming calls from its
own threads. You do not need to call orb->run() at all -- you just
need to activate the POA (or POAs). omniORB will happily service
requests while the main thread does something else, or blocks in
another library.

In omniORB, orb->run() just blocks waiting for the ORB to be shut
down; work_pending() and perform_work() are no-ops.

Cheers,

Duncan.
