yes, this is exactly what happens.

Unfortunately this sort of double stub inclusion might occur many times. The
entire architecture has been designed to allow for independent design of
modules (services) as well as their loading on demand without knowing about
each other. Until now I thought they could be really independent chunks of
CORBA implementations, not knowing about sharing of proxy factories.
Object instances in OmniORB don't track the factory which created them, so
is not even possible to do some sort of relocation once a factory is going
to die leaving active instances behind it.
Thanks,
