[omniORB] Corba Timeout

[Haarek Ryeng]

I'm not 100% up to date on version 3.04 ++ , but back in the olden days of 2.8 the "scavenger thread" did the connection garbage collection and timeout control. Thus the timeout period for a function
call is only as accurate as the scheduling period of this Scavenger thread. This period is configurable in seconds. For further reading see chapter 8 "connection management" in the OmniORB
documentation.
