I've been lurking for a couple weeks now and this begs me to ask if 
ORBit is a dead product now?  I understand that ORBit2 is the current 
road but has it completely killed off ORBit?

With ORBit2 I must be missing something.  When I build a test 
client/server (echo clone) pair with ORBit everything is fine.  I then 
make changes to the compile/link process to get it to build with ORBit2. 
  When I run it seg faults and dies, both client and server sides.  It's 
somewhere inside of CORBA_ORB_init().

Mandrake 9.0
ORBit 0.5.17
ORBit2 2.4.1
