I don't know where your memory leak could be. It's not impossible that
there are obscure memory leaks lurking within omniORB, but something
as simple as your example definitely doesn't leak. The only things I
can think of that might be the culprit are...

What does getController() do?  What about PrintUptime()?

Are you able to run your program in Purify or something like that?
