You can always check the JacORB version like this:

cd xmlBlaster/lib
cvs log jacorb.jar

(or look into xmlBlaster/lib/LICENSE)

We have upgraded JacORB to the cvs version from 2003-03-27 18:00
to resolve memory and thread leaks. This helped a lot but there
are still two issues (on of it is currently looked at by the JacORB team).

I think the different versions of JacORB are compatible, probably your 
problem is
related to setting System.properties(), please see

 xmlBlaster/src/java/org/xmlBlaster/protocol/corba/OrbInstanceFactory.java

The method initializeOrbEnv() manipulates the JVM settings to force
JacORB instead of Sun's ORB delivered with the JDK.

Probably you should try OrbInstanceFactory.createOrbInstance() to create 
the ORB,
this could solve your problem.
