what i'm trying to say is that the NameServer is returning
CORBA_OBJECT_NIL, but on the client side i'm not getting this, when i do

object = CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;
object = CosNaming_NamingContext_resolve (...);

if (ev._major != CORBA_NO_EXCEPTION) {
	if (object == CORBA_OBJECT_NIL)
		g_print ("object == NIL\n");
	else
		g_print ("object != NIL\n");
} 

	my program prints "object != NIL" when an exception is thrown, as i
understand it it should be printing "object == NIL".
