A strange patch that breaks python ...

[Michael Meeks <michael ximian com>]

Hi there,

	When I released ORBit I had no idea of the changes that were
lurking in there due to the lack of ChangeLog - and it took me 5-10
minutes to actualy find who made this change; and I'm now none the
wiser as to why:

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&root=/cvs/gnome&subdir=ORBit/src/orb&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=poa.c&rev2=1.62.4.4&rev1=1.62.4.3

	The commit message says "Bunch of bug fixes from bugzilla" can
someone elaborate ? which bugs ? who hit this ? why did it need fixing
like this.

	It seems to be screwing over the python bindings.

	In ORBit2 it seems we use pobj->servant to be equivilant to
whether the object is active or not. Is that incorrect ? it seems in
ORBit stable we don't.

	In short - what is going on ?

	Regards,
