[omniORB] Assertion failed

[Helmut Swaczinna]

Sai-Lai,

thanks for the patch, but I'm sorry, it didn't solve my problem :-( 
Maybe I've got another problem. 

These are the last trace messages from one of my server-processes, which 
crashed today after applying the patch:

outScavenger: shutting down idle connection
outScavenger: shutting down idle connection
outScavenger: shutting down idle connection
inScavenger: scanning for idle incoming connections
inScavenger: shutting down idle connection
inScavenger: shutting down idle connection
inScavenger: shutting down idle connection
#### Communication failure. Connection closed.
tcpSocketMT Worker thread: exits.
tcpSocketStrand::~Strand() close socket no. 13

It seems to me, that the processes crash after returning from a method
invocation. This possibly points to a problem with the scavengers. But I'm
not an expert.

Helmut
