****************************************************************
When a C++ CORBA server is to return a wide-character string in
either data or an exception, a null character is being
appended to the end of the string.  This does not comply with
the GIOP 1.2 spec.
Possible exceptions received are org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL and
org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM.
Problem conclusion
The null character will no longer be appended to the
wide-character string on the server.
