[omniORB] Bug in omniORB 3.0

[Bruce Cameron]

I'm running omniORB 3.0 under Irix 6.5.3 using the 7.3 MIPS C++
compiler.
When starting my server, I catch the following exception:

omniORB: Assertion failed.  This indicates a bug in omniORB.
 file: ../corbaObject.cc
 line: 223
 info: !_NP_is_pseudo()

Is this a real bug, or am I doing something really wrong in my
code? If it is a real bug, is there a patch yet? Could this be
due to my trying to create a child POA with a nil POAManager?

My server code is:

int main (int argc, char**argv)
{
 try {
  cerr << "1" << endl;
  CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc,argv,"omniORB3");
		
  cerr << "2" << endl;
  CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA");
  PortableServer::POA_var poa = PortableServer::POA::_narrow(obj);
		
  cerr << "3" << endl;
  PortableServer::POAManager_var mgr = poa->the_POAManager();
  mgr->activate();
		
  cerr << "4" << endl;
  Factory_impl	factory_servant(poa);	// THROWS EXCEPTION ABOUT HERE?
		
  cerr << "5" << endl;
  PortableServer::ObjectId_var oid =
    PortableServer::string_to_ObjectId("vrs_WorldFactory");

  cerr << "5a" << endl;
  poa->activate_object_with_id(oid,&factory_servant);

  cerr << "6" << endl;
  orb->run();
 }
 catch (const CORBA::Exception&) {
  cerr << "Uncaught corba exception" << endl;
  return 1;
 }
 return 0;
}

and the factory constructor is

Factory_impl::Factory_impl (PortableServer::POA_ptr poa)
{
 cerr << "Factory_impl" << endl;
 _rootPoa = poa;
	
 cerr << "\t1" << endl;
 PortableServer::IdAssignmentPolicy_var assign =
 _rootPoa->create_id_assignment_policy(PortableServer::USER_ID);
	
 cerr << "\t2" << endl;
 CORBA::PolicyList policyList;
 policyList.length(1);
 policyList[0] = PortableServer::IdAssignmentPolicy::_duplicate(assign);
	
 PortableServer::POAManager_var	mgr =
PortableServer::POAManager::_nil();
 cerr << "\t3" << endl;
 _worldPoa = _rootPoa->create_POA ("Worlds", mgr, policyList);
 cerr << "Factory_impl" << endl;
}

Output from this whole mess is:
1
2
3
4
Factory_impl
  1
  2
  3
Factory_impl
