Good god, what unpleasant tracing...

At least now we know why Visibroker was unhappy. It thinks there is
insufficient data in the marshalled wstring. My guesses are either
that it's expecting a null terminator, or that it thinks the wstring
length is in wchars, when actually it's in octets.

Please run a test where Visibroker sends a wstring to omniORB. That
way, we'll see what it thinks wstring marshalling should look like.

What version of Visibroker are you using?  These posts are probably
relevant...
