[omniORB] Why don't I receive the exception, I have a try-catch block

[ERIKSSON,TOBIAS (A-Sweden,ex1)]

Hi
 For some reason I receive a OBJECT_NOT_EXISTS when I try to call run() on
the orb-object.
The rather strange behaviour is that the try-catch block I have surrounding
the run()-call, does not catch the exception, see the stack trace below
(source as well).
Two questions:
1) Why don't I receive the exception?
2) Why does this exception show up?
3) (bonus question) Is there a way to check if it is a valid object?

Regards
 Tobias
