Looks like this is problem with exception handling in gcc. Normally the
call to recv from GIOP_S::dispatcher() would result in a COMM_FAILURE
exception because the client process has exit and the connection has been
closed. The COMM_FAILURE normally is caught by the outer try loop and the
worker thread would exit gracefully. The SEGV I suspect is because the
exception handler fails to locate the try block and unwind the stack.
This is typical of all gcc compiler versions that does not support
multithreaded exception handling.
