There are lots of statically allocated things in the headers. In
omniORB 3.0.x, there are also some one-off dynamically allocated
things that are never deallocated. In omniORB 4.0.x, all dynamic
allocations are freed as long as you destroy the ORB. If all you do is
include the CORBA header, there should be nothing but static
allocations.

MSVC is not generally a useful tool for finding memory leaks. If you
want to track some things down, and can find any problems, I'll look
into them.

Cheers,

Duncan.
