[omniORB] resolve_initial_references hangs

[Mark Zimmerman]

We have an application in which a shell script starts many instances
of a program in parallel. When the number of instances is 'too large'
(meaning some number that is greater than eight but less than 32 -
I've not narrowed it down) many of the programs get stuck at the
resolve_initial_references ("NameService") call and never unblock,
even long after the successful instances terminate.

I am using OmniORB 3.0.3 on Solaris 8.

Any suggestions on how to get around this one?
