ORBit2: patch for problem marshalling boolean/char/octet arrays

[Michael Haubenwallner <michael haubenwallner salomon at>]

Hello!

When upgrading from ORBit to ORBit2 i got problems with char-arrays.
The communication between client and server with char-arrays did
never work using ORBit2, but did with ORBit.

After searching around i found this thread from April, 2002
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orbit-list/2002-April/msg00028.html
with a patch to fix my problem.

But this patch did not resolve the original problem by just doing
aligning for boolean/chars/octets too, as Mark McLoughlin mentioned.

As i find the same problem with ORBit2-2.7.0, here is the patch for
the real problem with the second argument of giop_send_buffer_append().

Thx,
   Michael Haubenwallner
