Ouch!  My bad for proposing untested code, at least without labeling it.

I don't think we *want* to pickle the ORB object.  I guess we need to make it
volatile:

  # Untested again -- I'm still wrestling with getting Fnorb to 
  #  import cleanly.
  OFS.Application.Application._v_theORB = \
         CORBA.orb_init( sys.argv ) # or whatever
