[omniORB] exception when returning from main when using CORBA::Any

[Andrén Clas]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When the program reaches the return o statement in main(), Visual C++ fails with a
Debug Assertion Failed, CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData) exception. Why ? 
I Would really appreciate any suggestions.

CODE::

#include <iostream>
#include <tao/corba.h>

CORBA::Any* ReadSubject()
{
  CORBA::Any_var any = new CORBA::Any();
  
  const char* text = "Any";
  any <<= text;

  return any._retn();
}


CORBA::ORB_var gOrb;

int main ( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
  try 
  {
    gOrb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv, "TAO");
     
    CORBA::Any_var store = ReadSubject();
    
    const char* result;

    *store >>= result;

    // EVERYTHING IS FINE HERE!!!
    cout << "Result: " << result << endl;
    
    gOrb->destroy();
  }
  catch(CORBA::Exception&) 
  {
    cerr << "Caught CORBA::Exception." << endl;
  }
  catch(...) 
  {
    cerr << "Caught unknown exception." << endl;
  }

  // THIS FAILS!!!
  return 0;
}
