[omniORB] Procedure for submitting patches?

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Harri,

You can send it to me directly.

I've looked at the KAI C++ 4.0 documentation. One point that concerns me is
their limitation in exception handling. The KAI support has acknowledged
this but cannot give a time frame as to when the limitation can be lifted.
This is what I wrote:

At the moment, I simply do not know whether a deadlock will occur or not.
If you are using KAI C++, please take this into consideration if you ever
see your application deadlock under heavy load.
