Done.

That's a python-central bug[1]. I've worked around it in changeset 111.
I am checking last bits before uploading the new omniORBpy.

I have reproduced the segfault on an arm machine, but I don't understand
it. It crashes when entering a function, so it looks like the stack
frame gets corrupt. That's material for 4.1.1-3 :-)

There is also a pile of fixes in upstream repository[2]. Maybe we can
backport them?

Last, I wonder if some package should not be renamed: e.g. omniidl4 to
omniidl.

Thanks. Have a nice end of year and vacation too!
