[omniORB] instantiating object freezes POA

[ross::barna]

In my application (server side), the following occurs:

1)  initialize ORB
2)  contact NameService
3)  instantiate POA
4)  instantiate MyObject_i
5)  activate object in POA
6)  bind MyObject_i to a name in NameService
7)  activate POA manager
8)  run ORB

The problem is that my POA seems to freeze (on traceLevel 30 I get no
messages about the scavenger scanning)  or is that my ORB frozen?

Clients are not able to invoke methods but are able to locate the Object and
communicate with NameService.

If I remove Step # 4 5 and 6, the scavenger messages appear (ORB or POA are
active??).  If Step #4 is added and 5 and 6 are removed scavenger messages
dissapear (ORB or POA are frozen??!?).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
