Your changes are not CORBA compliant. The spec says that when
destroy() returns, the ORB has definitely been destroyed. Your change
breaks that. It sounds like you have no reason to ever call destroy().

The orb_count static variable you are using is intended for use if
omniORB ever supports having more than one ORB active at once, not for
counting references to the current singleton ORB.
