In ORBit/src/IIOP/connection.c, try commenting out the definitions
of the macros AM() and PM(x) at the start of the source file:

/*
#define AM() mi1 = mallinfo();
#define PM(x) mi2 = mallinfo(); printf(x ": used %d, now %d\n", \
mi2.uordblks - mi1.uordblks, mi2.uordblks);
*/

#define AM()
#define PM(x)

That made things work again for me. I reported my problem to this list,
but got no reply, which might suggest it's a problem particular to
my system. If the above works for you, it seems we have something
in common. Maybe it's a glibc problem. I'm using glibc-2.0.6 myself.
