The patch fixes a few issues:
1) Possible segfault was fixed in the connection handler on the
client-side
2) Improved concurrency with the Leader-Follower model
3) 64-bit warnings during compilation were fixed
4) Fixed a deadlock in a COMM_FAILURE exception circumstance
5) General optimizations

As far as profiling goes we use both Rational Purify as well
as Valgrind on Linux.  We test various demos and tests that ship with
Orbacus as well as some extra stress-tests that we have designed to
simulate high-load conditions.

I'd recommend applying this patch to your version of Orbacus... it
should only improve on existing functionality and will perhaps save you
time on future support issues.

Cheers.
