What problem do you have in creating a debug build?

I suspect that this might be the problem. While you are doing the
postinvoke(), another call might come in for the same object, causing
preinvoke() to be called again. If you return the same servant object
at a time when you are messing with __omni_svt, that could confuse
things enough to cause a segfault.

Cheers,

Duncan.
