The problem is that some portion of the code in this file are defines
which already contain ';' after declaration. When such define is
included as the class member, one more semicolon is added which is what
confuses BCB. I remember that I deleted one of ';' either in define or
in class declaration.

Due to some limitations of BCB3 thread implementation, I switched to
BCB4 which helps to solve the bug. I place a new archive at
<http://astra.relline.ru./devel/omniORB_2.7.1-bcb_4.0.zip> which
contains all the necessary modifications and projects for BCB4 (with all
the patches up to and including No.57) and also can now be built using
GNU make (except anyExample). Also it may contain my debug operators
which will be of no interest to the final distribution.

Everything seems to compile and run but omniNames crashes when accessed
from eg3_impl due to severe memory corruption. DII and DSI examples also
crash. If you can help in debugging this, any suggestions will be highly
appreciated.

Best regards,
