There are several problems with your code, some of which you've already
noticed. Another problem is that you should never use _var types or
references to them as argument types, because it will cause the
reference counting to go wrong. That might be another reason for a
segfault.

However, rather than fixing your code, you should just get rid of the
thread altogether. You don't need to call orb->run with omniORB -- it
will happily dispatch requests and so on without it. All your thread is
going to do is block on a mutex inside omniORB until the ORB is shut
down.

Cheers,

Duncan.
