I can't tell you why your gcc keeps dying but I can tell you how to bypass it
completely

Set your own II_DBMS_SERVER variable (on the IPC) to servername:port

eg setenv II_DBMS_SERVER admin:4000

To set the port number set II_DBMS_SERVER_PORT in your server options
file eg rundbms.opt

Wollar!! You bypass the local netserver & nameserver.

I do this for my own SUN workstation, but I don't know what it would
be like to support across a large installation.
