I don't know about this - never had the problem with RedHat-5.1 or RedHat=
-5.2
(I think the thread-patches for glibc arrived in glibc-2.0.30(or 29).)

I think this is a problem with the debugger. Try upgrading the debugger
and install the necessary thread-patches with it.

I think you can find the gdb-multi-thread patches at:
http://www.gr.opengroup.org/java/jdk/linux/debug.htm

Also modify src/lib/omnithread/posix.cc and apply a patch (posted here
some days ago by the omniorb-maintainer) to work around a bug in
pthread_cond_timedwait()

Then rerun gdb on omniNames, you ought to get a better stacktrace then.
