CORBA::UNKNOWN is thrown when the server side throws an exception
which is not either a user defined exception or a CORBA system
exception.

omniORB will try to deallocate the Slot structure you return. Since
it's on the stack, that won't work very well. My guess is that the C++
runtime is throwing some sort of exception in response to your bug. If
you properly allocate the Slot structure on the heap, the exception
will probably go away.
