[omniORB] stuck - help needed: calls on local object hang!

[Tomasz Bech]

Hi all,
I'm using old BOA (with omniORB 4.0.1) and all calls on local object hang.
To simplify I took example boa/eg2_impl.cpp and added calling of 
echoString. This call never returns (never goes into impl::echoString as 
well)

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  try {
    CORBA::ORB_var orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv);
    CORBA::BOA_var boa = orb->BOA_init(argc, argv, "omniORB4_BOA");

    Echo_i* myecho = new Echo_i();
    Echo_var myechoref = myecho->_this();

    myecho->_obj_is_ready(boa);

// TEST START
    cerr<<"calling echoString"<<endl;

    cerr<<myechoref->echoString("test")<<endl;

    cerr<<"passed"<<endl;
// TEST END

    CORBA::String_var sior(orb->object_to_string(myechoref));
    cerr << "'" << (char*)sior << "'" << endl;
......


What I should do to be able to call methods on local objects?!?!
(this works ok on Borland/Visigenic corba implementation)
