The only really portable way I know to convert an exception
to a string is to insert it into an Any and then extract the 
typecode name:

catch (CORBA::SystemException& ex)
{
    CORBA::Any any;
    any <<= ex;
    CORBA::TypeCode_var tc = any.type();
    std::string result = tc->name();
    ...

The name is terse, but sufficient.
