OK, this is very useful info. It appears that idlac dies at the point
where it attempts to create one of its output files. Things to be
checked:
  * what kind of filesystem are you using?
  * are there temporary files GNAT-*.* left over in the idls/cos/naming
    directory? (if so you can safely delete them all).

Please also note that PolyORB 1.1r is quite an old version, you might be
better off using a more recent snapshot from http://libre.act-europe.fr/
Also note that there are some known issues with GNAT.Sockets on Windows
that could prevent PolyORB from running correctly with tasking on that
platform.

These issues have been fixed in the GNAT Pro development tree here at
AdaCore and will be merged into the FSF GCC repository at some point.

Thomas.
