[omniORB] Re: run Orb in separate thread

[J-M Epitalon]

Hello,

I'll take pleasure at replying to my own question:
I could see two mistakes in my source code:

1) The thread object should be allocated on the heap and not on the
stack. In that particular case, I cannot see why this triggers a SEGV
since the program doesn't pop the data from the stack after creating the
thread. Instead it calls a subroutine that runs forever (not displayed
in the sample code).

2) the prototype for the virtual run method is incorrect...
It should be
     void run(void * x) {orb->run();  /* then */orb->destroy();}
