The problem is that the omniORBpy binaries are compiled for use with
Python 1.5.2. The binaries are not compatible with later Python
versions. On all platforms other than Windows, you get an ImportError;
on Windows, you get a crash.

The solution is to recompile omniORBpy for Python 2.0. When 2.0 is
released, we shall provide binaries which work with that.

Cheers,

Duncan.
