[omniORB] Strange crash

[Quinlan, Mike]

I got this error when I forgot to set any of the defines required by
omniORB.

The CORBA::Object::_PD_repoId string is static within the omniORB
library, so it's difficult to see how it could be invalid unless
something has randomly corrupted it. The alternative explanation,
since you're using Windows, is that somehow the symbol has not been
properly exported from the omniORB DLL.

Can you try to cut your program down to a minimal version which shows
the problem?

Cheers,

Duncan.
