Strange. If the object reference sent from the client really points to
the same implementation object, _is_equivalent() should returns true even
if the object reference has travelled around the world. Could it be
something else that is causing the symptom you are seeing? I have just verified
that omniORB2 is exhibiting the correct behaviour with a little test
program.
