[omniORB] omniORB 2.6.1: Server crash

[Jan Lessner]

Hi omniORBs
I just ran into a server crash which seems to be related to some very
deep down details of omniORB. It occured when calling a VisiBroker
server from an omniORB server but it doesn't look as if it were an
interoparability problem. The invoked method is not oneway and causes
the contacted server to exit. This situation seems to mess up some
clean-up work in the caller process. Here's the stack trace, maybe any
of you pros can tell something about it. I checked the application with
Purify as well and there is nothing suspicious going on before the
actual crash.
If the problem may be solved in a newer version of omniORB, just let me
know.

Regards,
