[omniORB] Problems porting omniORB2.

[Mike Bendickson]

g++ -v gives me:

gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)

Is there a UnixWare port?  I didn't see any mention of it in the release
that I downloaded.  2.7.1, dated March 12, 1999.

I've been working off of the SCO5 source with the exception of the threads
code.  UnixWare 2 has doesn't have pthreads, so I'm using the solaris
threads code (UI threads or SVR4 threads).

So you think gdb is causing the crash in this case?  Should I use something
else to debug it?

Thanks,
-Mike
