i am configuring my server with following parameters
    char *options[] = {
        "-ORBSvcConfDirective", "static Server_Strategy_Factory \"-ORBConcurrency thread-per-connection\"" ,
        "-ORBSvcConfDirective", "static Client_Strategy_Factory \"-ORBTransportMuxStrategy EXCLUSIVE\"" ,
        "-ORBSvcConfDirective", "static Advanced_Resource_Factory \"-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory\"" ,
        "-ORBSvcConfDirective", "static SSLIOP_Factory \"-SSLAuthenticate SERVER\"" ,
        "-ORBSvcConfDirective", "static SSLIOP_Factory \"-SSLCertificate PEM:ssl/cacert.pem\"" ,
        "-ORBSvcConfDirective", "static SSLIOP_Factory \"-SSLPrivateKey PEM:ssl/privkey.pem\"" };

after running the server i get following crash

(gdb) r

when i tried to look into the following files TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Security/Security_ORBInitializer.cpp and TAO/tao/PI/ORBInitInfo.cpp
i observed that the "id" parameter is garbage when it comes to the TAO_ORBInitInfo::register_initial_reference
the call is as following
  // Register the SecurityLevel2::Current object reference with the
  // ORB.
  info->register_initial_reference ("SecurityLevel3:SecurityCurrent",
                                    security_current3.in ());

some more observations

in step #10 i guess this method is called TAO::ORBInitializer_Registry::pre_init(./TAO/tao/PI/ORBInitializer_Registry_Impl.cpp)
which in a for loop calls TAO::Security::ORBInitializer::pre_init (TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Security/Security_ORBInitializer.cpp)

now in the TAO::ORBInitializer_Registry::pre_init the orb_core parameter is valid (orb_core=0x8697a58) but when the TAO::Security::ORBInitializer::pre_init funciton is called the orb_core becomes NULL
