[omniNotify] 64 bit notifd on Solaris 2.8 core dumps immediately

[Mark Zimmerman]

Greetings:

I have gotten omniNotify to compile as a 64 bit program (using gcc
3.4.3) but notifd core dumps immediately upon startup. I built a debug
version and ran it under gdb (output attached) and the segmentation
fault occurs in dereferencing a pointer that appears to be OK when
looked at in gdb. This makes it hard to debug.

OmniORB, when built this way, has been working fine for me and the
64-bit programs that I have linked with OmniORB are communicating with
an older 32-bit notifd without any problems. It is only a 64-bit
notifd that fails.

I have also attached a patch file that shows what I had to do to get
omniNotify to compile. This is only to show what I am running; it is
definitely not a set of proposed changes. I am building the latest
omniNotify snapshot.

Any insights would be appreciated.
