That's interesting!  omniORB doesn't do anything to trap seg faults,
so I would have expected it to just dump core. Perhaps some other
library you are using has installed a signal handler to catch sigsegv?

What platform and version of Python are you using?

You might get somewhere with WAD:

I've never used it, so I can't tell you anything about it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
