What do you see on the server side?

My guess is that you've run out of stack in the server thread. Arrays
are allocated on the stack in the C++ mapping, and you don't generally
have that much stack in each thread.

omniORB never sets a minor code of 0xcccccccc, which lends extra weight
to the idea that the stack is blown, since it has corrupted the state of
the exception.

I'd suggest you replace your arrays with sequences, since those are
allocated on the heap.

Cheers,
