[omniORB] Requests and Threads

[ryan.tecco]

Hey all. For each remote invocation, does a server object spawn a thread
to deal with the request? How does omniORB2 use threads in general. I am
running into some strange mutual exclusion behavior using omniORB2 with
another proprietary library. I have an object that runs the BOA in it's
own thread.
