If the refCount is 1, that means you are still holding a reference to
it, so it has not been deleted. It has been destroyed, meaning it is no
longer operative, and all the threads and so on have stopped, but the
C++ ORB object cannot be deleted until all references are released.

You should use a _var type to hold the ORB reference, like this:

  CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv);

then when the variable goes out of scope, the reference count will be
decremented and the C++ objects can be deleted (assuming you haven't
leaked a reference anywhere else).

Cheers,

Duncan.
