When running purify on omniORB applications we always see about 3 or 4
reports of memory leaks, which actually refer to data which is
allocated just once during initialisation.

If you think what you are seeing is more than this, then either omniORB
has a bug or you are doing something wrong! If you believe that there is a
problem with omniORB, could you please send me a copy of a simple test
program that demonstrates the problem?


Many thanks,
