This doesn't explain why omniORB can't talk to the ORBacus name service
though, because if we don't get the repo id we hoped for omniORB actually
contacts the object implementation (using _is_a) and asks it if it is an
instance of "IDL:omg.org/CosNaming/NamingContext:1.0".  The fact that
nameclt complains implies that it says no to this question.
