DIstributed Objects Problem (HELP!)

My architecture is the following:

Client app A
Server app B

Server B is running, client A gets a connection to B via 
distributed objects. B has registered a named object, and
runs the connection via runFromAppkit.

Client A calls [B addClient:self] which succeeds, and A is
added to a List object of clients of B.

Now B starts up a DPSTimedEntry, which generates events every
30 seconds that are supposed to be passed on to every object
in B's client list. However, these messages never return,
and the client app doesn't recieve them. Every now and
then an "Unrecognized error" pops up in the console.

When the client app terminates, about 1/3 of the messages
that were being sent (about 3 minutes worth) suddenly
are recieved (I suppose it occurs when the connection
is freed by the Application Object).

In any event, everything seems to run fine if the DPSTimedEntry
isn't generating the events (that is, if the methods are called
from appDidInit: or something...) 


So, is this me forgetting to do something, or what? Any help
is appreciated!
