[omniORB] Freeing mismatched memory.

[Dietmar May]

Henrik,

Assuming that this code is running inside an orb, and firstname is an out 
parameter, you need to use CORBA::string_alloc() or CORBA::string_dup(); NOT 
C++ new. You're almost guaranteed to have some bad side effects (at least on 
some ORBs) if you don't.

> CORBA::UShort A::member(const char *name,char* &firstname)

>  char *xyz;
>   ....
>
>   if(!(firstname = new char[strlen(xyz)+1]))
>     Warning ....
>   strcpy(firstname,xyz);
>
>  return 0;
>  }
