I initially detected the problem with linc-0.5.4.
I am now using linc-0.7.0 but that does not solve the problem.

The strange part is that a few minutes ago I was experimenting with
*different settings of ORBIIOPUSock, **ORBIIOPIPv6**, **ORBIIOPIPv4*
and it started working with settings that used to fail. After a few minutes
it stopped working and now it is back again.  Houps no! it fails again.

What should I do? Shoot myself :-)
