FW: [omniORB] Calling omniORB shared library from a an applications shared librar on SGI

[Cameron Malley]

We have pthread as the last library.

The first symptom is that the following code always gives the failed to narrow
message even though this works fine on other platforms.
It also works fine if the code making this call is itself not in a shared
library.

    CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->string_to_object ( ior );
    pnsprj = GLDBProjects::_narrow ( obj.in () );
    if ( CORBA::is_nil ( pnsprj.in () ) ) {
        fprintf ( stderr,
                  "Failed to narrow GLDBProjects stringified reference.\n" );
