AW: [omniORB] Problems transferring double values under Solaris 8 withomniorb 4.0.6

[Winterstein, Bernd, VF-DE]

On access to the corrupted doubles purify reports the following UMR(Uninitialized memory read) failures...

We got this problem also when using a single double inside a struct. It seems that during marshalling fraction and exponent are corrupted. When using purify the results differ from those using normal debug version. 

****  Purify instrumented testClipboard (pid 23676)  ****

  * This is occurring while in:

Betreff: [omniORB] Problems transferring double values under Solaris 8 withomniorb 4.0.6

Hi, I have strange problems with transferring double values

I simply wrap an idl structure inside an any, send it to a server which stores it in a db. Then I get it back. Now I compare the double values in the send and receive structure. Sometimes they are completely different.
Under Windows the same program works perfectly...
