Yes, as long as you have got your servant reference counting right,
all the destructors will have run before destroy() finishes. In fact,
there's no need to call deactivate_object() on all the objects, since
ORB::destroy() does that. You shouldn't need to call _remove_ref()
after deactivate_object() -- if you do, that's a sign that you didn't
properly remove the ref when you activated the object.

Cheers,

Duncan.
