[omniORB] Getting segmentation fault when I delete an array of
structs

I'm trying to pass an array of fixed-length structs via CORBA. It
almost works, but I get a seqmentation fault at the very end.
Here is the relevant IDL code:
module CoRCC {
enum vmeType {SBC, ROD, TIM, EMPTY, OTHER, UNKNOWNTYPE};
enum vmeModStatus {OK, WARNING, ERROR, UNKNOWNSTATUS};
struct slotInfo {
vmeType contents;
long serNo;
vmeModStatus status;
long revision;
};
typedef slotInfo crateInfo[22];
interface RCC {
long scanCrate(inout crateInfo modList);
};
}
The implementation (server) code seems to work OK; it even returns
the correct information. The problem is on the client side. Here is
the relevant code:
int pyScanCrate(int rccHandle, struct mySlotInfo slotList[]) {
int status = 0;
unsigned int;
int si;
CoRCC::slotInfo* tempList = new CoRCC::slotInfo[24];
status = rccref[rccHandle]->scanCrate((CoRCC::crateInfo_var)tempList);
for (unsigned int i=2; i<NSLOTS+1; i++) {
slotList[i].contents = vmeType((int)tempList[ui].contents);
slotList[i].serNo = tempList[ui].serNo;
slotList[i].status = vmeModStatus((int)tempList[ui].status);
slotList[i].revision = tempList[ui].revision;
}
delete [] tempList;
return status;
}
For technical reasons I need to copy the information into another
array of structs, called slotList, but this should not affect the
CORBA side. I am creating a temporary array of structs, which the
client application owns, and filling it via the call to
rccref[rccHandle]->scanCrate. The information comes back from the
server just fine. I can print it out and everything looks good. The
problem comes on the "delete [] tempList" statement, where I get a
segmentation fault.
If I just create tempList and the delete it without doing anything to
it, there is no problem. It is only after filling tempList from CORBA
that I have a problem.
For the record, I'm running an Intel processor under Linux (Kernel
version 2.4), using g++ 3.2.2, and omniORB 4.0.6.
