Hi again,

Thanks for your continued response but I'm still no better off, therefore more
questions I'm afraid....

Since I have two clients and two servers, one client and one server being in the
same program (and also the second server being started using a system call from one
thread of that program - just to make things more complicated!), do all 4 need to
call linc_set_threaded (TRUE) before ORB initialisation? Because when I tried this
I got the error message I previously described (see below).

So no ideas how to solve that?
