[omniORB] Array size limit

[Klas Nordberg]

Hi

I'm testing how long time it takes to send large arrays of bytes 
(CORBA::Octet) between a server and client using omniORB CORBA by 
writing a client which sends 10^6 bytes to a server which just copies 
the received byte array to a local buffer.

On a linux platform this works fine, but when I tested to run the client 
on a Windows platform, I get a stack overflow runtime error (not an 
exception) from somewhere deep in the ORB.  When I decrease the size of 
the array, however, it works.  Apparently, there is a limit on the 
amount of data in an array which can be processed by the ORB.

The idl looks like

typedef octet inputdata[1000000];

interface server {
  long receivedata(in inputdata data);
};


QUESTION1: Can I increase the limit so that a 10^6  byte array can be 
sent in one chunk also from a Windows client?  Is there a configuration 
variable?

QUESTION2: Is this limit documented somewhere?  Is it a bug?  It appears 
to me that the stack overflow error is not gracefully managed by the ORB
