The failure is because reading a string requires that the code set
conversion framework is initialised, and that only happens when you
call ORB_init(). If you initialise the ORB before calling
cdrUnmarshal, it will work fine. It's not good to get a segmentation
violation from Python code. I'll think about how to generate a Python
exception instead.

Cheers,

Duncan.
