A corba server that does essentially nothing else than sending an exception to a
client increases its CPU load (as reported by top) to 99% as soon as the client
exits (this happens when the client exits either due to an uncaught exception,
or if the exception is caught, when the client is killed by ctrl-c). We use
multithreaded servers and mutlithreaded clients
