It is a known problem caused by an interaction between omniORB's
marshalling code and the gcc version used in Debian. The issue was fixed
long ago. Upgrade to omniORB 4.1.0 or 4.0.7 and it will work fine.

I wonder why Debian is still distributing an old omniORB version that is
known to be broken on that OS.

Cheers,

Duncan.
