Here's what I did, step by step:
 1. edit /etc/omniORB.cfg to contain only the line
	ORBInitRef NameService=corbaname::localhost
 2. make omniNames run on port 2809:
	/etc/init.d/omniorb stop
	cd /var/log/
	rm omninames-*
	omniNames -start
      (I pressed C-c to interrupt it)
	/etc/init.d/omniorb start

I have filed a bug report with severity important on the package.
It will hopefully arrive here at some point:
