	Extraordinary.

	Are you sure you are using an array of things of fixed size ? it all
depends; the best place to look is ORBit2/test/everything/client.c
(testFixedLengthArray) and the corresponding (testVariableLengthArray) -
also the server impls. [ test/everything was originally snarfed from the
ORBit C++ regression suite ].

	That's clearly broken.

	Possibly a bug in orbit-small, but why does it work for our regression
tests ?
