Summary: Incorrect threading behaviour with multiple requests (bug number 9)
Date: Tue Jan 28 12:05:54 GMT 2003
Reported by: Michael Sturm, Ulf Stoermer
Description: If a client sent multiple requests in a single transfer (e.g. a collection of oneways), the select loop could fail to notice them, causing them to be serialised, rather than dispatched to separate threads.

Summary: Various problems with recursive TypeCodes (bug number 8)
Date: Thu Dec 5 12:16:33 GMT 2002
Reported by: Clemens Fischer
Description: Some things would fail when using recursive TypeCodes generated with orb->create_recursive_tc().

Summary: Call descriptor clash with oneways (bug number 7)

Reported by: Ilya Kreyer
Link for this bug: http://www.omniorb-support.com/pipermail/omniorb-list/2002-November/022299.html
Description: Functions with identical signatures except for onewayness would incorrectly share call descriptor classes.

Summary: Hang on shutdown (bug number 6)
Date: Fri Nov 8 17:17:14 GMT 2002
Reported by: Norrie Quinn

Summary: Log flush bug (bug number 5)

Summary: Object ids not unique in PERSISTENT SYSTEM_ID POAs (bug number 4)
Date: Mon Oct 14 15:48:35 BST 2002
Reported by: Bjorn Rohde Jensen
Link for this bug: http://www.omniorb-support.com/pipermail/omniorb-list/2002-October/021993.html
Description: A POA with the PERSISTENT and SYSTEM_ID policies should generate object ids that are unique across all runs. omniORB failed to do that. See the new poaUniquePersistentSystemIds configuration parameter if you need the old behaviour.
