!OK, thanks for the backtrace. Can you find out what version of goad.c you
!have? 'cvs status gnome-libs/libgnorba/goad.c' outputs this information.

Working revision: 1.63

!Since it is impossible for line 162 itself to segfault (line 162 is a
!function call, and dereferences no pointers), I'm not sure whether the
!problem is in goad or your experimental glibc. If you have version 1.64 of
!goad.c like I do, I would be inclined to blame your compilation/runtime
!environment:) It could also be that you need a newer glibc that works
!properly with your experimental glibc in order to produce a reliable
!backtrace.

My goad.c looks like:
159  goad_server_list_read(SERVER_LISTING_PATH "/", servinfo, tmpstr, newl);
160
161  newl->list = (GoadServer *)servinfo->data;
162  for(i = 0; newl->list[i].repo_id; i++)

According to gdb, after the call to goad_server_list_read(),
servinfo->data is NULL which is causing the seg fault in 162.
Is there something I need to do to set up CORBA servers, or do you 
still think it might be my libc?

Thanks,
