I don't know what the problem is, but it's definitely something at the
server end. The trace shows omniORB correctly issuing a LocateRequest
message to the server. It just doesn't receive a reply.

If the problem is that the server doesn't like the LocateRequest, you
can tell omniORB not to do it by setting the verifyObjectExistsAndType
parameter to 0.

Duncan.
