Yes, it is HEAD.

I haven't updated all the other modules recently, so there's a chance of
minor incompatibilities with very-recent changes. I'm in the middle of doing
a complete rebuild and I'll fix any new compile problems when that finishes.

I was putting bonobo-activation under gdb by starting it up with a test
program and then using attach. But I kept getting lost in mazes of
CORBA-related code. Saw many anomalies that didn't seem to be the actual
bug, which were confusing me a lot.

Thanks for taking a look. Sadly, I'll be away from the keyboard for a while
-- it's time for me to make dinner for my hungry family -- but I'll check
mail in a few hours if I can.

Any help you can offer is much appreciated!
