There shouldn't be any problem doing this, either in the local or
remote case. Assuming you're using omniORB 2.x, invocations to objects
in the same address space are just C++ virtual function calls, so the
ORB isn't involved at all. Local calls on omniORB 3 do a bit more
work, but you still shouldn't see any problems.

What sort of erratic behaviour did you get before your crash?

Cheers,

Duncan.
