This line is wrong. create_POA() takes a list of policies, not a
single policy object. The call should be

myPOA = rootPOA.create_POA("myPOA",rootPOA._get_the_POAManager(),[myPolicies])


However, it's a bug that omniORBpy segfaults when you use the wrong
type. I've checked in a fix so it now properly throws BAD_PARAM.

Cheers,
