There is indeed a bug with the anonymous sequence. The attached patch
fixes it.

Anonymous sequences are generally considered bad form. The advised way
to write your valuetype is with a forward declaration, and that works
fine:

valuetype VariableValue;
typedef sequence<VariableValue> VariableValueSeq;

valuetype VariableValue {
                public octet   type;
                public long    ivalue;
                public double  dvalue;
                public VariableValueSeq svalue;
};

Cheers,

Duncan.
