Almost certainly, your C++ compiler is broken. Try running your code
with -ORBtraceLevel 10. You will probably see a message about an
exception being thrown just before it aborts. That's a sign that
exception handling is not thread safe.

See if there are any updates available for the compiler in SuSE.
