[omniORB] Sequence of Sequence causes client compiler errors!!!

Gary,

>=3D>IAE, I still don't understand why this compiles:
>=3D>
>=3D>	Tests::TestResultsList* seqResults;
>=3D>	INTERFACE_TESTS-> Test(seqResults);
>=3D>
>=3D>and this does not:
>=3D>
>=3D>	Tests::TestResultsList seqResults;
>=3D>	INTERFACE_TESTS-> Test(&seqResults);

I hate it when the answer is so obvious in hindsight <g>!  The compiler =
error
didn't mention reference, instead saying there's a mismatch between 2 =
very long
complex types;  so I got hung up on figuring out the data types, thereby =
missing
the obvious.

Thanks for pointing that out!
