It's hard to say since you're using an old version of ACE.  If you
upgrade to ACE+TAO+CIAO x.6.1 (i.e., ACE 5.6.1, TAO 1.6.1, and CIAO
0.6.1) and look at the various ACE socket examples in

ACE_ROOT/tests/
ACE_ROOT/examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/

you'll see that the use ACE_TMAIN and work just fine.  You can
download ACE 5.6.1 from

under the heading: "Latest Beta Kit."

Take care,
