[omniORB] Problem releasing memory resources

[Mark Johnson]

Sorry, I should have said that the memory resources after 24 hours for the
Client is 25M and Servant is 29M.  Also, there is no memory allocated in
PrintUptime().  Actually, there is no memory allocated anywhere in the
client except in creation of the omni_thread "ActiveServantHeartbeatThread"
and the
return value from run_undetached().
