Well...oops...it turns out we were not passing these arguments
correctly on the command line. Note to all you poor dopes doing JTRS
stuff...the SCA mechanism for passing exec params as command line
arguments is messed up. Just use the omniORB.cfg file to set these
parameters and you will be fine. Please email me off list for details
(unless the only people here are JTRS developers... ;-)

Thanks.
