There is some chance that there are dragons yet to be slayed in the
inter-orb world I fear, as weird stuff happens when talking to the Java
ORB.  I would feel more at ease if we waited at least until I can get
advice (from Michael and/or Mark).  Unfortunately we don't have bugs
filed yet since it would seem prudent to have clearer test cases. 
However, using at-poke (without disabling sanity checks) with
java-access-bridge, the returned objects fail CORBA_Object_is_a () when
queried for their base type.  Probably a java-access-bridge bug, but we
don't know yet.
