Error description
WebSphere for z/OS ORB sends dissimilar object id in locate
and in the following prepare request.
Before the ORB sends a prepare request it sends a locate request
to IONA server containing an object id
with length 98 bytes (Hex 62)
Locate response is received with OBJECT_HERE
Now the ORB sends a prepare request with same object id + 4
Length 102 (hex 66).
IONA server returns correctly a OBJECT_NOT_EXIST.
ORB should not be sending the wrong/extended object id.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Length of Object id in a request does   *
*                      not match length of the object id that  *
*                      was in the locate request.              *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
WebSphere Application Server V4.0 for z/OS and OS/390 ORB sends
a locate request to a non WebSphere Application Server V4.0 for
z/OS and OS/390 server containing an object id with a length of
98 bytes (Hex 62). A Locate response is received with
OBJECT_HERE. Next the WebSphere Application Server ORB sends a
prepare request with same object id + 4 bytes. Length 102
(hex 66). The other non WebSphere Application Server server
returns correctly a OBJECT_NOT_EXIST. minor code: 49540501
Object id length should not be modified by the WebSphere
Application Server ORB.
Problem conclusion
Changed the code so that the length of the object id on the
request matches the length of the object id on the locate.
