[omniORB] ServantActivator, etherealize problem

[Adam Groszer]

Hi,

I'm using win2000, omniORB400, omniORBpy2, python 2.2.2
I'm trying to build up a small Server/Session pattern with the following
IDL:

module First {
  interface Session {
    string ping();
    void logout();
  };

  interface Server {
    string     connect();
    Session    login(in string name);
  };
};

I'm using a POA which has USER_ID, RETAIN, USE_SERVANT_MANAGER policies,
registered with the root POA to manage the objects of the Sessions.

Everything works fine, except:
if the client exits without calling logout() of the Session, the
ServantActivator does not get the etherealize() called for that Session.

The server log is the following (when the client just exits):
omniORB: (10) inputMessage: from giop:tcp:172.16.144.39:1979 12 bytes
omniORB: (10) throw giopStream::CommFailure from
