[omniORB] OO 4.0.3 : problem on RedHat 9, same code working on 7.3

[Thomas Baron]

Hi

A little test of mine have a problem with OO 4.0.3, on RedHat 9 with gcc
3.2.2 (used for both OO and my test).
The same code worked on RedHat 7.3 with gcc 2.96 (used for both OO and
my test).

I'm trying to initialise an object with a fixed endpoint.
I know this endpoint is not available (another object initialised on
it). So I'm expecting an exception (which is raised
on RH 7.3 and which is perfectly usable).
This exception on RH 9.0 is not raised : the program abort (SIGABRT).

Here's gdb trace :

The omni::omniObjAdapter::initialise() is trying to throw an exception
(CORBA::INITIALIZE) but the abort happens in
construction of this exception.

Here's the end of output with -ORBtraceLevel to 40 :

omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description:
giop:tcp::41803
omniORB: throw INITIALIZE from objectAdapter.cc:245
(NO,INITIALIZE_TransportError)

OO was build using new build system : ./configure --prefix=...
--disable-static && make && make install, just like on RH
7.3

Any idea, guys ?

Cheers,
