Some ARMs have a bizarre mixed endian double, where the 64-bit double is
split into two 32-bit words in big-endian format but then the 32-bit
words are encoded in little-endian format.

omniORB has specific support for handling thes mixed endian doubles on
ARM. I don't know if TAO does, but I expect this is the cause of your
problem -- either you need to configure TAO to use mixed-endian doubles,
or TAO needs to grow support for them.

Cheers,

Duncan.
