[omniORB] Omni 4.0.6 and Purify

[Regis DETRE]

Hello,

We had some troubles to run one of our applications linked with Rational 
Purify (4.2 and 2002) on Solaris 2.5.1 platforms.

After investigations, we have localized the trouble. It happens when 
invoking the libomnithread.so library. The constructor of the static 
member omni_thread_init (in src/lib/omnithread/solaris.cc) calls the 
function thr_self() but the thread is not yet created, so segmentation 
fault occurs.

To avoid the trouble, we comment the declaration in omnithread.h (line 
642). Otherwise, a better solution should be to create the inner class 
instance at te omni_thead creation (singleton pattern). This is probably 
the aim of the static member omni_thread::init_t::count which avoid 
multiple instances.

A future 4.0.7 version should be released soon, I wondered if sutch a 
patch could be part of it.

Thanks a lot for your assistance.
