This isn't an omniORB version issue. The difference you're seeing is a
build / configuration issue. This output shows that omniORB was compiled
without IPv6 support. It is only listening on the IPv4 wildcard address.

That shows that omniORB was compiled with IPv6 support. It is listening
on the IPv6 wildcard address.

RFC 2553 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2553.txt ) tells us that IPv6
sockets should accept IPv4 connections.

But this post suggests that Debian has chosen to violate the RFC and
disable it:

If you edit include/omniORB4/include/internal/SocketCollection.h and add
a new block to #undef OMNI_IPV6_SOCKETS_ACCEPT_IPV4_CONNECTIONS I expect
it will work again.

Cheers,

Duncan.
