a pair of typo's in ORBit2

[Paco Moya <fmoya inf-cr uclm es>]

CORBA 2.3, section 13.6.2 states:

Null object references are indicated by an empty set of profiles, and by
a "Null" type ID (a string which contains only a single terminating 
character).

Therefore there is no choice in the NULL typeid...

And I guess there is also a small typo in giop-send-buffer.c:

I cannot get the name-server to work yet...

Using the ORBit2 name-client against the ORBit2 name-server you will get a
MARSHAL system exception.

Using nsadmin from MICO against orbit-name-server seems to work at first but
a simple mkdir (bind_new_context) will generate a segfault.  Here is the
backtrace:

Any hint?
