[omniORB] Python 2, FreeBSD 4, omniORBpy, core dump

[Ng Pheng Siong]

Hi,

I'm trying out omniORBpy on FreeBSD 4.0 with Python 2.0 and am getting 
core dumps with the echo server example:

$ omniNames -logdir `pwd`

$ omniidl -bpython example_echo.idl

$ python example_echo_nssrv.py 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


Gdb reports:

If I step thru the server using the Python debugger, it works!

Is there any magic incantation needed for FreeBSD? 

Hints appreciated. Cheers.
