Thanks for your continued bug reports. I'm still away, but I'll look
at them when I get back next week.

There may well be other similar bugs. All of the transport code in
omniORB 4 is new, so it's bound to have a few bugs. It has been
extensively tested, including for interoperability with other ORBs,
but there are, as you are finding, still some problems. That's why
it's still in pre-release rather than even beta.

Cheers,

Duncan.
