Each new incoming connection to an omniORB server starts a new thread.
The error shows that the Solaris libthread dies horribly when it fails
to create a new thread, rather than returning an error to omniORB. I
don't think this can be an omniORB problem -- I think there must be
something dodgy about your Solaris installation. Maybe it's configured
to severely limit the number of threads a process can have?  Even
then, you'd expect it to complain gracefully rather than dying.

Sorry I can't be more help,

Duncan.
