Are you using gcc on Solaris?  If yes, it might be aliasing bug in 
omniORB, which we noticed about a month ago, but I have forgotten to 
report so far.

In that case, -fno-string-aliasing or the attached patch might help.  
The patch is for 4.0.5, but the code in question seems to be identical 
in later versions.

I hope this helps.
