[omniORB] _this in an object's constructor?

[ryan.tecco]

I have a CORBA object that maintains a reference to itself. When I try and 
initialize this variable in the constructor with _this() I get a core
dump. Why is this? If I make a member function to return reference given
with _this, it works fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

class X{

X_var self;

public:
	X()
	{
	  self = _this();    // dies here
	}
	
	X_var getObjRef() { return _this(); }  // okay, doesn't hang

};
