What platform are you using?  It looks like Python has loaded a new
instance of the omniORB library, rather than using the one that's
already in the process. Furthermore, it hasn't initialised the new load
of the library correctly so it blows up. Does omniORBpy work if you use
it normally?  How about if you start it from within C++ code that isn't
linked with omniORB?

Cheers,

Duncan.
