The C++ mapping specification says that the tie class should only be
derived from the skeleton class.

That looks reasonable to me.

This issue goes away with the proposed new C++ mapping, since
RefCountServantBase has been deprecated, and the reference counting
behaviour is in the ServantBase base class. The new mapping can't be
supported in omniORB 4.0, since it is not binary compatible with the
way it's currently done.

Cheers,

Duncan.
