	That's quite correct CORBA has no concept of a NULL pointer wrt.
strings, so we'll always return an empty string "" at the other side,
that is unless an exception is fired, this is safe to print it:

	printf ("%s", txt && txt [0] ? txt : "<empty>");

	eg.

	Yes - true, it's not useful - I think an empty name is more useful -
otherwise we're at risk of deluging the AT with information which it is
difficult to determine whether it is truly interesting.
