AFAIK, ORBit2 does not do  any  string conversion,  ORBit2 allways  
assumes UTF-8- encoding, being encoded in stringified IOR:0100....  for 
client; client is choosing specific  encoding.
Talking about Solaris and Linux setup, are you using different 
representations for object references, IOR vs. Corbaloc?
Corbaloc representation does not provide any information related to 
string-encoding.
