[omniORB] Trouble when daemonising

Okay, thanks for confirming.

Aah, okay. I just wrote something which calls -ORBhelp (python two-liner)
from a shell script, parses its output and creates a file which then calls
parse.add_option() from optparse on every argument, while cursing that it
now needs two dashes (that’s life).

But I’ll consider that -ORBhelp is the only exception, and maybe in the
future will change that code ☺ Now it already exists.

Thanks!
