The omniORB 2.8 binaries were compiled for "Multithreaded DLL", with
VC++ 5. The problem you are seeing is almost certainly that VC++ 6
doesn't like them. In particular, if you don't have the latest VC++ 6
service packs, there are incompatibilities between the memory
management in VC++5 and VC++ 6.

The best idea is to compile omniORB from scratch with VC++ 6.
