[omniORB] Can't send CORBA-Any converted from structure which contains enum

[Kaneiwa Tomohide]

Hi.

I'm a new on omniORB.
Now I am trying to use CORBA-Any on omniORB4, but It doesn't work as
expected.
When I send CORBA-Any converted from struct which contains enum type,
server outputs error messages as below.( several times )

--------------------------------------------------------------------
message:
omniORB: Assertion failed. This indicates a bug in the application
using omniORB, or maybe in omniORB itself.
file: tcParser.cc
line: 297
info: 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I attach source code (echo.idl/eg2_clt.cc/eg2_impl.cc) , which is
modified from omni-sample.

It works fine on omniORB3, but not work on omniORB4.
It does'nt work both on 32bits and 64bits ELF.

My environments is below.
UP-UX B.11.31
aCC complier

Any advise is very appreciated.
Thanx.

T.Kaneiwa.

That is a known bug in omniORB 4.1.1. It is fixed in 4.1.2.
