If you look at the IDL of the Cos nameservice, you will see bind_new_context() 
might throw four types of exception, depending on the error condition.   
'NotFound' when the name given is not bound; 'InvalidName' when, obviously, 
the name given contains invalid characters or violates some naming rules;  
'AlreadyBound' when the name you give is already bound to a context; and 
lastly 'CannotProceed' when the implementation (i.e. nameservice) gave up for 
some reasons.

Grab a copy of CORBAService spec and you'll be clear with what these are.
