I have created a shorter example from the "echo 3" example that shows
the same behavior. I'm not including the orb init code, as that's
boilerplate. In this case the "server" receives the message from
the "client". All the server does is acknowledge receipt of a 
message, it doesn't even access the data members of the struct. 
I hacked this together in a hurry, so pardon the sloppiness.


Server code:
===================================================================
#include <echo.hh>

#ifdef HAVE_STD
#  include <iostream>
   using namespace std;
#else
#  include <iostream.h>
#endif
  typedef CORBA::ULong arrayULong[200];
   typedef CORBA::Double arrayDouble[200];

static CORBA::Boolean bindObjectToName(CORBA::ORB_ptr,
CORBA::Object_ptr);


class Echo_i : public POA_Echo
{
public:
  inline Echo_i() {}
  virtual ~Echo_i() {}
  virtual void receive(const JobSubmissionRequest& request);

};

JobSubmissionRequest req;

void Echo_i::receive(const JobSubmissionRequest& request)
{
cout << "Received request message\n";

//  CORBA::String_var src = request.appID;
//  cout << "Received: " << (char*)src << endl;
//  cout << "Received: " << request.data1[0]<<" -> " <<
request.data1[199]<< endl;
//  cout << "Received: " << request.data2[0]<<" -> " <<
request.data2[199]<< endl;
}


Client code:
===================================================================
#include <echo.hh>
#include <string.h>

#ifdef HAVE_STD
#  include <iostream>
   using namespace std;
#else
#  include <iostream.h>
#endif
  typedef CORBA::ULong arrayULong[200];
   typedef CORBA::Double arrayDouble[200];

static CORBA::Object_ptr getObjectReference(CORBA::ORB_ptr orb);

static void send(Echo_ptr e, const JobSubmissionRequest& request)
{
  if( CORBA::is_nil(e) ) {
    cerr << "send: The object reference is nil!\n" << endl;
    return;
  }

   e->receive(request);

   cout << "Sent request message\n";

 // cout << "Sent: " << request.appID << endl;
 // cout << "Sent: " << request.data1[0]<<" -> " <<
request.data1[199]<< endl;
 // cout << "Sent: " << request.data2[0]<<" -> " <<
request.data2[199]<< endl;
}
