[omniORB] omniORB's ORB::init(..) method.

[Ben Miller]

I've got the latest release (3.0.3) and it all seems to work as you
originally suggested.  This means that the two argument version of the
ORB_init works fine, as does the three-parameter version setting the
third parameter to an empty string ("").  If you set it to 0 it
doesn't work which is, I believe, correct.

Thanks,
Ben.

This was added between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1.

I've just discovered that there's an extremely stupid bug which
prevents using 0 as the ORB identifier (in conjunction with -ORBid on
the command line). The fix is in CVS. The empty string and the default
work fine with the 3.0.3 release.

Cheers,

Duncan.
