[omniORB] Strange crash

[Matthew Berry]

One of my clients is crashing when it resolves a name using the naming
services on the line:

      obj = rootContext->resolve(name);

rootContext seems to be valid with a refcount of 3. name contains 5 valid
id/kind pairs.

If I step through the code, the particular line on which it crashes is in my
idl-generated skeleton file:

    void*
    VersionBroker::_objref_VBServer::_ptrToObjRef(const char* id)
    {
      if( !strcmp(id, CORBA::Object::_PD_repoId) )
<--------- Crashes here
        return (CORBA::Object_ptr) this;
      if( !strcmp(id, VersionBroker::VBServer::_PD_repoId) )
        return (VersionBroker::VBServer_ptr) this;

      return 0;
    }

The string id is valid and null-terminated. If I step into the assembly
code, I think the value CORBA::Object::_PD_repoId is not valid.

The above _ptrToObjRef function is called by CORBA::UnMarshalObjRef in
corbaObject.cc by the return statement of line 474.

I am using omni3.0.3 with -wbBOA and having the problem on both Win2000 and
NT4 clients connecting to RH6.1 and DEC OSF servers.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
