Do you really need to wait for deactivation?  If you're just waiting so
you can call _remove_ref at the right time, you can just call
_remove_ref at any point earlier, and then when the object is
deactivated the POA will call _remove_ref and trigger deletion of the
servant.

If you really want to know, the way to do it is to provide your own
_remove_ref implementation so you know when the POA calls it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
