Re: Problem Shutting Down the ORB

Hi Craig,

	Sorry for the sluggishness, I've been having mail delivery issues (now
fixed :-).

	Fair enough - we don't have a stable thread-safe ORB yet.

	Great.

	No there are no known issues - although the GIOP funnies we're seeing
with the Mac ADA ORB are concerning to me. Any interop problem is quite
serious and needs fixing.

	It'd be great if you could: compile ORBit2 with --enable-debug; then
export ORBIT2_DEBUG=traces:giop, and run the thing that doesn't
interoperate correctly; and post a link to the output - then we can
analyse it and see who is at fault.

	Hard to say;

	Which is just fine.

	Mine says:

Initial References:
        POACurrent ... okay
        RootPOA ... okay
Protocol     IPv4: disabled
Protocol     IPv6: disabled
Protocol     UNIX: enabled
Protocol     IrDA: disabled
 
	So there is something seriously wrong there.

	That might be helpful; I'm available from ~8.45am -> 6pm GMT on
irc.gimp.net, #gnome, 'michael'. It'd be good to get to the bottom of
this.

	Thanks,

		Michael.
