I've tried this and it has failed. Whenever I've started eg3_impl I've
got a 'abnormal program termination'. The other examples are working
fine. I've added the value in the registry and made a config-file and
set the env-variable OMNIORB_CONFIG, but nothing happend. I've tried to
debug the program with MSVC4.2 but it also failed, because I couldn't
single-step through the libraries (omniORB2 and omnithread). I've
recompiled the hole distribution with debug-informations included but it
doesn't fit. Perhaps the compiler isn't the best one or I'am a little
bit too stupid.

Is there perhaps a little thing I've forgotten?
