Connection attempt fails in thread

Hello, I am a relatively new user of Informix and a very new user of Solaris threads. These two do not mix well!!! I have an executable which starts up, connects to the database (mi_open), does some queries, and kicks off a thread. In this thread, my function attempts to create another connection to Informix (once again, mi_open), but the connection fails with either a -27001 or -25582 error code. My environment: Solaris 2.5, C++, Informix Universal Server (using TCP/IP ... not shared memory), Solaris threads library, Orbix (CORBA) The code which is being called to create the new connection is the exact same code that the main process uses (in a C++ class). I can create as many connections as I want in the main process, but the first attempt in the thread fails. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
