[Fresco-devel] Problem running the demo

Hi,

I've managed to compile and run Fresco on my PC, a linux machine with the
latest versions of omniORB and omniORBpy.  I'm using SDL rather than GGI.

When I run the server alone, it works as it should, closing upon request
from the window manager.  When I run it with the demo (or when I run the
demo separately with the server in the background), the server refuses to
close, and the demo does nothing.  Here's a log I generated:

$ berlin -l -R ior -e demo

Can anyone help me with this?  I'm pretty good with C++, so if I can get a
starting point I might be able to work it out on my own.

BTW, I'm compiling with G++ 2.95.2.1, and I had to make a bunch of changes
to get it to compile, mainly with respect to G++'s pre-3.0 strstream
wierdness, and also the absence of the push_back method for strings.  If
anyone is interested in a patch, I think I managed to avoid doing anything
destructive to the code, and I could provide one pretty easily.

Thanks,
Matty Noble
