The 2.8.0 release adds call timeouts to remote calls. By default, the
client gives up on a remote call after 60 seconds; the server side
gives up after 90 seconds. When a connection is closed after a
timeout, the client sees a COMM_FAILURE exception. My guess is that
you have a COMM_FAILURE exception handler which is automatically
re-trying the invocations.

You can change the timeout either with the command line arguments
-ORBclientCallTimeOutPeriod and -ORBserverCallTimeOutPeriod, or using
the omniORB::callTimeOutPeriod() call. If you set the timeout to zero,
calls never timeout.

Cheers,

Duncan.
