If the resolve() call takes more than 15 seconds, the call will result
in a CORBA::TRANSIENT exception. The minor code will be set to the value
omni::TRANSIENT_CallTimedOut.

There is no default timeout. By default calls never time out, so they
can block forever. When opening a new TCP connection to a server, the
operating system's TCP stack will have a default connection timeout if
the server is not reachable, but that value is usually very long.

Duncan.
