What goes wrong with it?  Do other types like long work?  What about
long long?  float?

What omniORB version?

What processor are you using?  If it's an ARM, some of them have a
strange mixed-endian double representation. If that applies to you, does
the macro selection in include/omniORB4/CORBA_sysdep.h that sets
OMNI_MIXED_ENDIAN_DOUBLE choose the right setting?

Cheers,

Duncan.
