Hi,

the code maps to OMNIORBMinorCode_26, which is MARSHAL_InvalidEnumValue.
Do not mix up the OMNIORB minor codes with the OMG ones...

Perhaps you can also post the complete definition of your return code
enum. Have you made sure that both sides use the same IDL? You may have
added the value TCO_STATUS_NO_COEFFS_AVAILABLE to the enum but not
recompiled the client side with the modified IDL.
