	You are simply mis-using the CORBA binding; this causes the crashes. If
you will take the time to examine (as requested)
test/everything/client.c - eg. (testUnboundedSequence), you can see
plenty of regression tests that pass fine, in compliance with the spec.

	No; the GIMP uses a shared memory approach (I believe); of course, that
only works in a single machine.

	HTH,
