Hi,

I think the problem is in
src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/tcp/tcpTransportImpl.cc

omniORB should use the getifaddrs() function
in <ifaddrs.h> instead of the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl()
for getting a list of interfaces.  This function
is available on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS X,
and now GNU glibc 2.3 (for distributions like RedHat 9).
