this should probably read

A_C_impl : public virtual POA_A::C, public PortableServer::RefCountServantBase

and may be even the RefCountServantBase should be derived virtually from.

I'm using this (modulo the changes I just suggested) myself on a large scale
without problems with gcc 2.95.x, but I know that gcc 3.0.x with x at least
0 had trouble with more complex inheritance relationships due to the new ABI
they are using. I'm not using gcc 3.0.x for my omniORB based projects...
