I believe JavaIDL reuses the existing connection to the server in
these sorts of recursive calls. omniORB versions prior to omniORB 4
did not cope with this, since they assume there is only one call in
flight on a connection at a time. The solutions are to update to
omniORB 4, or use a Java ORB that can be configured to open new
connections rather than reusing connections that already have a call
in flight.

Cheers,

Duncan.
