	Great work - I'll go over this in a minute to try and replicate / fix
the issue.

	That's really nasty ;-(

	Yes - of course.

	That's very odd; it's possible a linc bug though; what version of linc
are you using ? you really need linc-1.0.1 and ORBit2-2.6.0 IMHO.

	There are no timeouts in ORBit, so it's hard to say; unless of course
there is some nasty DNS lookup happening somewhere. Can you ping
`hostname` ?

	You want to make clean ; make I think; but check that
ORBit2/config.status has '-DG_ENABLE_DEBUG' in ORBIT_DEBUG_CFLAGS. Also
you might want ORBIT2_DEBUG=giop:traces for a more detailed debugging
experience.

	Thanks for the report,
