[Orbit-python-list] Problem returning boolean values

[Brad C. <cha...@ar...>]

Hello again;
Sorry for flooding everyone's boxes -- I guess I shouldn't have
saved all of my patches to send all at once :-).

While working, I also ran into a problem with boolean values.
Basically, ORBit-python seemed to always return zero to the client,
independent of the value passed in at the server side. I cooked up
an example client and server which demonstrates the problem:

I also took a gander into the code for this one and came up with a
proposed patch to the demarshalling code, which is attached.
Basically, this defines the returned value as being a CORBA_short 
instead of CORBA_octet. The patch is a simple one-liner, but the
same caveats apply as in my previous message.

HTH,
Brad
