[omniORB] Problems with debugging omniORB programs

[Bartosz Klimek]

Hello.

I have serious programs with debugging omniORB programs on Linux (Redhat
6.1). This what happens:

$ cd /usr/local/omniORB_280/src/examples/echo/
$ gdb eg2_clt
GNU gdb 4.17.0.11 with Linux support
Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux"...Segmentation fault

I also tried to run a program which didn't use omniORB at all, it didn't
include omniORB headers even. However, it was linked with omniORB2
libraries (omnithreads, omniORB2, omniGK_stub). Same effect as above. As
soon as I omitted omniORB2 and omniGK_stub in the link stage, the problem
disappeared.

I know this looks like a gdb bug (it is!) but maybe something is
misconfigured on my system?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance,
