It's a complete guess, I don't know if it's related or not. Does it has to
do with libbonobo/files/patch-activation-server_object-directory-corba.c ?
Will remove this make any different or not?
Anyway, there is debug tip in ${WRKSRC}/activation-server/README that
maybe will helping to find specific problem. It looks like it's a good
idea to add WITH_DEBUG in libbonobo.
Cheers,
