[omniORB] omniInitializer

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Thanks, Duncan.
To anyone interested: I actually found out that all threads disappear at
global destructor level only when the process is about to die, not when t=
he
containing dll is about to be unloaded while the process survives.
The former case can be detected by using a standard atexit() call to be
invoked at runtime (e.g. after all global constructors have run). When su=
ch
a situation is detected, do *not* shutdown the orb to avoid a deadlock.
If just the dll is being unloaded, orb->destroy seems working now.
Cheers,

Renzo
