The ORBs should not be visible to each other unless they are
explicitly introduced by passing an IOR between them. Unless ORBit is
maliciously looking for and killing omniNames, it should never see
it. Maybe you could try running omniNames in a console, rather than in
the background, to see if it prints anything meaningful when it dies.
