****************************************************************
If a C++ ORB server has a user-defined exception that has
a structure in it that contains a wide-character string, the
string will be corrupted when it gets to the client program.
No CORBA marshalling error will be detected by the C++ ORB
on the client side.  The client program will just see garbage
in its received exception data structure.
Problem conclusion
This problem stemmed from a problem with the idl compiler.  In
order for the application program to take advantage of the fix
to this problem, the idlc must be re-run on the .idl files and
the application must be re-compiled.  NOTE that this is NOT
necessary if the application program does not throw user
exceptions that contain structures that contain wide-character
string(s).
