The standard C++ mapping for arrays says they should be on the stack.
omniORB can't allocate them on the heap. Basically, large IDL arrays
don't work with the C++ mapping.

You could, of course, modify omniORB to put arrays on the stack, but
that would make it incompatible with the standard mapping.

As others have said, it's far better to use sequences if you have large
data items.

Cheers,

Duncan.
