[omniORB] (4.1.0beta2) resolve_inital_reference fails

[Slawomir Lisznianski]

I'm trying out the 4.1.0-beta-2 release and I've noticed that under some OSes the resolve_initial_reference("RootPOA") throws "omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description: giop:tcp::0".

For example, the call works fine on Linux Fedora Core 4, RedHat AS4 and CentOS 4.3 (all with kernel 2.6). However, the same binary fails with the error above on RedHat AS3 (kernel 2.4). I tested on several AS3s with the same result. The same application compiled against omniORB 4.0.7 works on all OSes.

Stack trace:
