sequence of octets bug in Orbit when running server as root?

[Claude Beazley <cbeazley hgmp mrc ac uk>]

I'm trying to run a local corba server as root. The server works fine in 
accepting ints, strings,sequences of strings and other variables  from the 
client, however it falls apart when trying to accept a sequence of octets:-

If I run the server as a normal user everything works fine however it falls 
down as root.

The server never enters testoctetsequenceupload but 
prints out the glib warning:- 
** (process:28210): WARNING **: Hyper unusual code path of little testing

the client side message is:- 

** (process:32089): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
Run testoctetsequenceupload
we got exception 2:
        IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
        <null>!


interface SERVER{
		typedef sequence<octet> octetlist;
	      exception listError{ string info;};
	    
            void testoctetsequenceupload( in octetlist filechunk)
			raises(listError);
};
