[omniORB] omninames 4.1.0 for VC8 crashes when -errlog is specified

[Tahar Ouhrouche]

Hi Guys,
I'm facing a kinda similar problem when compiling my application with Visual
Studio 2005 using omniORB4.0.7
As soon as the omniORB::Init() function is called, the program crashed,
windows returns an Acces violation error.
Did you ever faced this kind of problem?

Thanks,

Cheers,

Tahar
