I don't understand how omniNames could have been working. Are you sure
it was?

The problem is that some static initialisers were not running as they
should have, meaning the POA module was not initialised. I've fixed
it in CVS, so it should now work.

omniORB 4 was working with an earlier version of MacOS X, so I assume
they have changed something about the linker. You may find that there
are other problems in using omniORB because of this. Please report
them if you encounter any.

Cheers,

Duncan.
