[omniORB] cygwin: this used to work!

[Nikolas Kauer]

Hi,

I've been using a distribution hacked to work on cygwin
(mostly by Peter Grobarcik) on my home PC for a while.
The files are here, in case anyone is interested:
http://hepsource.org/dvegas/win32/omniORB-3.0-Cygwin.tar.gz
Now, I built it on a Win XP laptop and the echo example
doesn't work.  I include trace output below and would be glad
if someone could point me to what might be going wrong.
Alternatively, if someone has another unofficial cygwin port
I'd be interested.  (Note: I don't need the services and
they don't compile in the tarball.)

Thanks in advance.
