[omniORB] VC++ 5.0 heap error when using -a option

[Peter Craig]

Here is some more information:

The problem only occurs when using the DLL version of the omniORB
libraries.
The problem goes away when I add the _WINSTATIC macro and link to
omniORB2d.lib and omnithreadd.lib.

I searched my system to make sure I only had 1 copy of the DLL.
