The first trace shows the program trying to connect as a client, and
failing. The second one is more mysterious. I don't think either has
anything to do with pinning down the port with -ORBendPoint.  It is
possible to have problems with that, though, since if the program does
not exit cleanly, the operating system can take some time to reclaim
the listening port, meaning that when you try to start up again, the
port is still in use. The only ways around that are to make sure your
program does orb->destroy() before exiting, and failing that to wait
until the OS closes the listening port.

Cheers,

Duncan.
