	;-) Well - I can assure you that there are no hard-coded '10's in the
ORB ;-) It might be down to some memory pool difference for longer
strings or something; it sounds extremely wierd; you're sure you're
doing:

	foo->str = CORBA_string_dup ("this is more than ten"); ?

  Strange-- I don't have any arrays of 10 characters char[10],

	Yep; same here :-)

	Fine; the concern is to preserve the history data at all costs; if
there is none - it's not so much a problem.

	Sounds fine - I'd just go ahead; the rule is an advisory only - there
is no way of making such rules stick ;-) be aware that most people do
this for fun, so you have to make the guidelines severe to stop them
charging right ahead.

	No problem, when it's checked in I can help with the string problem,
let me know.

	Regards,

		Michael.
