orb->destroy() automatically destroys all POAs. (Well, it's actually
orb->shutdown() that does it, but that's called by destroy() if
necessary.)

In omniORB 3, there are currently a number of singletons that are
allocated but never deleted, so you might be seeing one of those.
None of them should be created by activate_object, though. Are you
able to track down what the data is?

Cheers,

Duncan.
