Are you confusing CORBA objects with servants?  CORBA::release() only
releases object references. It has no effect on servants. You must
call POA::deactivate_object() for any servants you have activated.

Are the stubs (i.e. code generated by omniidl) in the .so?  If so,
you're doomed to failure since static constructors register the
stubs, but nothing removes them.

Cheers,

Duncan.
