See Jon Biggar's response to Michi in comp.object.corba.

COMM_FAILURE means the communication failed between sending a request
and getting a response. When using an existing connection, it is not
until the ORB tries to receive the response that it is able to see
that the connection has gone. COMM_FAILURE is therefore the correct
exception to throw.

Cheers,

Duncan.
