****************************************************************
Marshal error occurs when binding a naming context
with CORBA::MARSHAL minor code: c9c20cfc. The error
results due to a buffer overrun when parsing a IOR
multicomponent tags if the taglist ends on a
non-full-word boundary (c9c20cfc minor code is
indicative of the buffer overrun).
Problem conclusion
Parsing code has been modified to prevent walking past the end
of the buffer while iterating over multicomponent tags.
