[omniORB] update from 2.7.1 to 2.8.0pre2 and tie_

[HA Quoc Viet]

following on my previous posting,

the third echo example (eg3_tieimpl/eg3_clt) doesn't work anymore
(from 2.8.0pre2 source tree) though it did run the first time ... !

I have restarted omniNames and I've checked that the CosNaming
service was really up and running, and yes it was.

eg3_tieimpl dies right on the following call, no exception thrown
( catch(...) catches nothing )

testContext = rootContext->bind_new_context(contextName);


... ? ....

In any case, I hope that no one is offended by my cynical questions.
For some reason, these questions blitzed me this morning, so I just core
dumped my brain on this email, partly for therapeutic reasons.  Perhaps
I
need more coffee.
