Because after calling orb->run().

The solution is to omit this call.  You would only need to do this if you
actually want the ORB to block the current thread.

Of course, in a more realistic example, this would be in a loop.  In order to be
portable to other ORBs, you would need:

      if (orb->work_pending())
	orb->perform_work();

inside the loop.

Note, however, that the omniORB implementation of these (work_pending() and
perform_work()) were trivial last time I checked.

HTH,
