[omniORB] Segfaults on exceptions. RedHat 7.2

[Maged Mokhtar]

on my RedHat 7.2, gcc -v gives :
gcc version 2.96 20000731 ( Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98 )

if i understand you correctly, compiling the OmniORB libs on redhat 
version 7.1 ( with gcc that comes with it ) is no good.
i'll give it a shot with 7.2, but am not very optimistic as the gcc version
is 
very close to 7.1

thanks a lot.

Hello Maged,

What version of gcc are you using? RedHat shipped a custom version of gcc
with 7.1 that had some serious problems, especially in the areas of
exception handling and inheritance. I believe that version will spit out
2.96 (maybe 2.96.something) when you invoke gcc -v. I stepped everything on
my Linux machines back to 2.95.3 and I am using omniORB 3.0.4 with the
2.4.14 kernel without issues. I think RH 7.2 ships with the 2.4.9 kernel,
but I don't think anything happened in between that should give omniORB gas.
