[omniORB] Newbie Question: Heap Problems with VC++ 7

[Markus Sabin]

Hi again,

I finally managed to re-compile all libs, exes and DLLs with VC7 
according to the readme.win32. Unfortunately, my problems keep 
persisting. In order to make sure that I have no bugs in my 
client/servant implementation, I tried to get the echo example running, 
but it shows the same behavior as my program: heap corruptions when 
de-allocating CORBA::String_var. Exceptions when resolving references to 
the NameService and so on.
What I have already tried is to link against static/debug/release 
libraries - no effect. Strange enough that the NameService - which was 
rebuilt with VC7 - seems to work properly.

Any hint will be greatly appreciated!

Best regards

Markus
