[omniORB] Intermittent assertion during ORB thread creation

[Mike Cunha]

Duncan,

This is an embedded 32-bit LEON3 processor with 512MB of RAM, so it is memory limited in some respect. I will try to reproduce with the trace level you suggest.

That means it unexpectedly failed to handle a readable connection. As the comment in the code says, it "should never happen". If it can't start a thread at that stage, it should queue the request.

Can you run with -ORBtraceLevel 25 and reproduce the issue?

What kind of system is this?  Does it have a very limited amount of memory?  Is it 32 or 64 bit?

Duncan.
