IOR problem on IRIX

[Stéphane Genaud <genaud icps u-strasbg fr>]

Hi all,

I have a linux client a an Irix 6.5 server program.
The client executes CORBA_ORB_string_to_object without error,
but i have return results from the server functions.

When i decode the ior (with
http://www.parc.xerox.com/istl/projects/ILU/parseIOR/)
i have the host number seems to be  kind of broadcast : it's IP is
255.255.255.255
The brief parsing gives :

 object key is
<#00#00#00#00#A07#CA#88#8A#BB#B8L#00#00#00#01#CD#00#FB#E2#E6#C4#18q>;
 no trustworthy most-specific-type info; unrecognized ORB;
 reachable with IIOP 1.0 at host "255.255.255.255", port 2256

If i swap the client and the server, i.e the server on the linux box,
and the client on
the IRIX system, all work fine. I have in ~/.orbitrc : 
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
-ORBIIOPIPv4=1

Decoding IOR generated on the linux box gives the exact IP of the linux
system.
Any idea why is 255.255.255.255 encoded in the IOR ?

Thanks.

S.G.
