[omniORB] Omniorb 2.8.0 Servant process spawning/forking an identical child process

[Young Travis - tyoung]

I have a servant process that uses Omniorb 2.8.0 on TRU64 that is
spawning/forking  an identical child process for some reason.   It seems to
happen when the resource usage(CPU/Memory) of the parent servant process
becomes extremely high.  This code has been in production for several years
now and this is the first time I have seen it spawn/fork a child process
like this.  Is there an option that controls this process spawning/forking?
Should it be spawning/forking a process at all?  

Below is a "ps -ef" print out statement that shows the processes.
