Well I spent the afternoon playing with gdb and breakpoints,
and it appears that a call to g_hash_table_insert() is
blowing up from packet-giop.c at line 911 approx.

(gdb) step
0x402bbb36 in g_hash_table_insert () at eval.c:41
41	eval.c: No such file or directory.
	in eval.c
(gdb) next

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
chunk_alloc (ar_ptr=0x40528f00, nb=17) at malloc.c:2896
2896	malloc.c: No such file or directory.
	in malloc.c
(gdb) c


I #if 0 out the call and everything is ok

Any pointers (no pun intended) !!

/Frank..
