[omniORB] Can't compile client that retrieves a struct whichcontains a sequence

OK, but I'm still a bit confused. What does the server implementation code do with the passed-in msgptr, which is null (it IS null to start with, right?)  Is it something like this:

  Server code:

   class SequenceTestServer {

     void getMessage(SequenceTestIF::Message *msg() {
        msg = &_message;
        return;       // Server encounters seg-fault after return statement.
     }

     // Define a Message member
     SequenceTestIF::Message _message;
   };



I tried something like this, but the server gets a segmentation fault after returning from getMessage().

Many thanks,
Tom
