Since CORBA specification 2.0, it is invalid to have array declarator in
the operation parameter list. Any IDL compiler which still accepts such a
construct is non-compliant. I leave it to you to verify this with the BNF
rules of OMG IDL.

Try this:

typedef EndPointList EndPointListTuple[2];

BIBStatus refreshFlowBundle(in long fbi,
                            inout EndPointListTuple host_A,
                            inout EndPointListTuple host_B,
                            inout double msr_time) raises (Reject);
