Yeah, sounds like what we are experiencing.

In our case, its not a problem of server dying, but intentional restart or a 
complete crash of server (power loss situation).

One thing crossed my mind now. Did you experience these hangs only on crash or 
also if server was shutdown properly (ie. ORB was properly de-initialized)?

In our case, due to other reasons (speed needed, and proper de-init takes time 
- do not see a point as we are shutting down anyway), we have decided to not 
shutdown orb before exiting from server program. Maybe if we shutdown the ORB, 
problem would not be reproduced? Have to test this, but thx for idea ;)
