I hate to insist but...

Sorry to insist...

CORBA spec is unusually clear on this... A null object reference is
indicated by an empty set of profiles AND a string which contains only
a single terminating character (CORBA 2.3 section 13.6.2).  Therefore
this patch should be applied to ORBit2 if it cares about CORBA 2.3 
compliance...:
