            No
        EXECUTION?
        	yes

    SYNOPSIS:
AMI call timeout set to 2seconds, during execution seems to be around 1sec

    DESCRIPTION:
In my program I set a 2s delay for AMI call:

   unsigned long delaiUL = delai * 1000; //delai is 20000, so I set the
delay to 2s
   TimeBase::TimeT relative_rt_timeout = delaiUL;
   CORBA::Any relative_rt_timeout_as_any;
   relative_rt_timeout_as_any <<= relative_rt_timeout;
 _orb->create_policy(Messaging::RELATIVE_RT_TIMEOUT_POLICY_TYPE,
                          relative_rt_timeout_as_any);
...
policy_current->set_policy_overrides(policy_list, CORBA::SET_OVERRIDE);
...
policy_manager->set_policy_overrides(policy_list, CORBA::SET_OVERRIDE);


Before my call I start a timer to verify elapsed time:

	ACE_Profile_Timer profile_timer;
	ACE_Profile_Timer::ACE_Elapsed_Time el;
      profile_timer.start();

      ///
        CORBA::Object_var noyauServeurObjet =

emNoyau().lirePointAcces().lireORB()->string_to_object(urlServeur.c_str());
        emma_corba::Noyau_var noyauServeur =
emma_corba::Noyau::_narrow(noyauServeurObjet.in());

	//
	profile_timer.stop();
	profile_timer.elapsed_time (el);
        if ( CORBA::is_nil(noyauServeur.in()) )
        {

            throw ServeurInjoignable(urlServeur);
        }

for each call where elapsed time id over 1s, my object noyauServeurObjet is
nil
when I set the timeout to 3s all the calls are ok (maximum delay is 1.2s)
when I set the timeout to 1s all the call under 0.4s are ok

Am I doing something wrong when I set the timeout?

(the same code is working OK under Redhat Entreprise Linux release 3 with
TAO1.4.8)

Thanks for your help
