Hi Marzenna,

  Using omniORB4 i get the right behaviour;
_non_existent returns true, if the object
has been deactivated, and i get a transient
exception, if i kill the server.
  I do agree, that one of the points of using
_non_existent is to avoid getting an OBJECT_NOT_EXIST
exception, but TRANSIENT and COMM_FAILURE are
ok, since one can not conclude, that an object
does not exist based on inability to reach it.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
