There's never any need to do that. Unless you call it from the main
thread, orb->run() just blocks doing nothing. omniORB uses its own
threads to dispatch incoming calls, so you don't need to call run().

That's just because the thread doing run() is blocked on the condition
variable, and exiting deletes it. You should either not call orb->run(),
or call orb->destroy() to unblock any threads in run().

Cheers,

Duncan.
