[omniORB] Server causes segmentation fault, but no core file

[Mike Mascari]

Hello.

I am new to both CORBA in general and omniORB specifically. I have a server 
application which, after a period of inactivity on the client side, causes 
a segmentation fault on the next method invocation. I have tried everything 
I know to get the server to dump core, but can't. I have set the core limit 
to a very large number via ulimit -c. I have run the server from /tmp under 
the assumption that maybe it can't dump to the directory in which it was 
executed. I also tried running it as root. As for the nature of the 
segmentation fault, I am still at a loss. The tracing looks like this:

[mascarm@corvette linux2]$ ./server -ORBtraceLevel 10

This is omniORB 3.0.2 on Linux RedHat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15), using the 
downloaded binaries. I'm attempting to use thread-specific data. Is there 
something perhaps wrong in the way the thread is being destroyed?

Thanks for any information,
