You shouldn't do that. That tells the client to also try to start up
on the same port. You only get away with it since you don't actually
start the server. It might come back to bite you later.

Are you using the JDK built-in ORB?  The ORB in JDK 1.3 doesn't
support corbaloc. The JDK 1.4 ORB does, as do most of the other Java
ORBs. You shouldn't use ORBInitialHost/Port either -- they are
obsolete, and don't have any bearing on the use of the corbaloc URI.
