True.

False. This is the code:

_omniFinalCleanup::~_omniFinalCleanup()
{
  if (--count() != 0)
    return;

  if (!omniOrbORB::all_destroyed()) {
    omniORB::logs(15, "ORB not destroyed; no final clean-up.");
    return;
  }
  omniORB::logs(15, "Final clean-up");
  int nils = 0;
  omnivector<CORBA::Object_ptr>::iterator i = nilObjectList()->begin();
  for (; i != nilObjectList()->end(); i++, nils++)
    delete *i;
...

It shouldn't cause any problems to exit without calling destroy(). The
OS will clear up any resources the ORB is using.

Cheers,

Duncan.
