Don't use dynamic_cast<> unless you really, really need to. Why don't 
you want to catch SystemException separately?

If you really want to just catch CORBA::Exception, then why not 
distinguish between types by using the virtual functions provided?
Example:

   catch(CORBA::Exception& ex)
   {
     cerr<<"Caught CORBA::Exception '"<<ex._name()<<"'."<<endl;
   }
