| ORBit 2 is targeted at CORBA 2.4 instead of CORBA 2.6,

| 
| (83) <array_declarator> ::= <identifier> <fixed_array_size>+ 
| (84) <fixed_array_size> ::=  [  <positive_int_const>  ]
| 
| um..and also the C Language Mapping is not updated to reflect the new
| mapping of array for CORBA 2.6...

Exact! But... see... you can only reach it from within a 

typedef  <type-declarator>

So, I say again:

(and add: IDL that defines an array).
