Almost certainly, you are using Windows, and the crash is something
about crtIsValidHeapPointer. If so, the problem is that you are mixing
debug application code with non-debug versions of the omniORB
libraries. Windows doesn't like that. Make sure you always match
debugging options.

If that isn't the problem, what platform are you using, and what
exactly happens in the crash?

Cheers,

Duncan.
