You might find that installing an initializer helps, but I still don't
think it's guaranteed to run after everything else has gone. The whole
issue with Windows DLL unloading is a mess, and I'm not sure there is
any easy solution.

A solution is on the list of things to look at for omniORB 4, but
we're not even sure it's possible, let alone sensible to attempt.

Cheers,

Duncan.
