It isn't CORBA_string_dup, and it's not odd that the program doesn't
segfault. What you have here is random memory corruption; it happens to
write over argc. Because argc is valid memory, you get no segfault.

So, you need to find what part of your program is screwing up memory it
isn't supposed to touch.
