Hi Martin

They are the Corba proxy calls custom to our application. No issue with
fundamental CORBA calls like CORBA::ORB_init, string_to_object, etc.
Corba client object Initialization and creation are always fine.

Crash traces are like below

We are using omniORB 4.12 version.

There are no different ORB objects. The ORB object is a singleton and 
you can have only one per process. (You should be able to have multiple 
references to the ORB via many ORB_var reference objects though)

What calls? Calls on the ORB object (eg to resolve a naming service) or 
calls on some other objects in the servers?

Specify "crash". If it's reproducible attach a debugger and check what 
happens.
