[omniORB] limit on length of object IDs?

[Carl Thompson]

I should have mentioned that I am using omniORB4 from 10/1/2001. 
Actually, it looks like the limit is 18 bytes as the maximum length of a 
string used as an object ID (excluding null).  string_to_ObjectId() 
works fine, but calling ObjectId_to_string() on the resulting ObjectId 
chokes.  Ideally, I would like to create object IDs that might be as 
much as a few hundred bytes long.  Is this not allowed?

Thanks,
Carl Thompson
