  Looking at this it seems that ORBit_POA_allocate_oid is that one setting
how much memory to allocate. Checking that functions leeds to an
conclusion from my side. It defines int len; but never sets an value and
when callsCORBA_octet_allocbuf with that.

  I might be alot wrong here, but shouldn't len be set to something here
before using it?

Sorry I can't post a diff because I'm at work (Solaris and CDE :-( ) but
I've
inserted after the the line where buf got set the following :

len=strlen(buf)+1;

and now everything seems to be working.
