The problem is actually in libstdc++.so.2.7.2 -- it fails to initialise
mutexes which it later tries to use. The solution is to use the egcs
compiler, as this comes with libstdc++.so.2.8.0. The optimiser works too. 

See http://www.orl.co.uk/omniORB/omniORB_240/README.egcs for details of
how to use it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
