Hi Katherine,

	Firstly, please also CC the list - otherwise I have to reply to 10
people instead of one when everyone has the same problem later :-)

	Ok - as you notice, in order to get anywhere you need to invoke
linc_set_threaded (TRUE), and you need to do it before initializing the
ORB. Notice that ORBit2/test/everything/server.c and client.c do this -
successfully.

	It will help; you'll still get locking problems and things - the thread
support is not complete.

	Very odd, it works in the test.

	ORBit-MT may solve your problem more completely, but it's author ...
sigh, ask this question on list, and we can have a proper discussion.
