Well actually, the crash dump says it is crashing on the line that
locks the mutex. Maybe that is just because it is offset a line, but
maybe it is a sign that the memory has become corrupted and this code
is an innocent victim of something trampling on it.

It is very hard to say what is causing the problem. Certainly your
suggestion that the connection object has already been deleted is
plausible, but I am not aware of anyone else encountering this.

Are you able to trigger the crash with omniORB running at
-ORBtraceLevel 25 ?  If so, that will give a good idea of what is
happening at the time.

If that produces too much logging (or prevents the crash due to changed
timing!), we can look at producing some targeted logging to indicate
what is going on.

Duncan.
