Small update: changed my omniorb setup slightly,
and now it mostly works...if I use the nameserver.
This seems like a race condition, which may tie in
with bug92 & bug235.

Basically fresco-demo3D generally works every
time. Use the nameserver, and fresco-demo works
the first time you run it, but after that it goes
into high-cpu like with bug235. Use ior, and the
fresco-demo doesn't work at all. Use ior with
logging & tracing and you get a similar failure
result - but which suggests a different cause to
bug235.
