I suspect you are hitting the default message size limit of 2MB. Since
omniORB has already started sending the message when it notices that
it's too big, it is too late to send a MARSHAL exception, so it turns
into a message error. Try setting the gipMaxMsgSize parameter to a
larger value.

Cheers,
