I am having problems with omniORB 2.5 and "const" declarations.

This IDL code:

typedef unsigned long ulong;
module Dme
{
const ulong eEXEC_MODE_ALL  = 7;
const ulong eEXEC_MODE_AUTO = 4;
const ulong eEXEC_MODE_PROG = 2;
const ulong eEXEC_MODE_MAN  = 1;
};

generates this in the header:

  static const CORBA::ULong eEXEC_MODE_ALL;
  static const CORBA::ULong eEXEC_MODE_AUTO;
  static const CORBA::ULong eEXEC_MODE_PROG;
  static const CORBA::ULong eEXEC_MODE_MAN;

and this in the skeleton source file:

const CORBA::ULong Dme::eEXEC_MODE_ALL = 7;
const CORBA::ULong Dme::eEXEC_MODE_AUTO = 4;
const CORBA::ULong Dme::eEXEC_MODE_PROG = 2;
const CORBA::ULong Dme::eEXEC_MODE_MAN = 1;

Unfortunately, since the header file declares these as !!! static !!!, 
zero'd value constants are being inserted into each source file! and 
there is no way to resolve the global const definition. This means that 
code which uses these constants does not, of course, do what is expected.

Suggestions? About where to look, where to patch the IDL generator?
