Could you 'strace -e writev' the applet and send me the writev line?
Backtrace and code to reproduce it, too.

The assertion there are to make sure that the total size of the data being
written to the network is equal to the message body size listed in the
CORBA request plus the size of the message header, is equal to the size
that writev() says it wrote.
