Oh yes, that actually makes perfect sense now that I look at the code.
:) (Like I said earlier, it's not fresh in my mind these days.)

It's something I did internally:
p = s + strlen(s) - 1;
while (isspace(*p))
*p-- = 0;
If it was failing before and it works now, and you think the IOR had no
trailing whitespace, have a closer look. :) I was stumped on that same
thing too because I was using vi to look at the IOR, and it looked like
there was nothing at the end of the line. Of course, od(1) is what you
need to use, and I'll bet you the last byte of the IOR has a \n.
If not, send me the IOR in question, because I'll definitely want to
figure out what's going on. :)

Are you using the CVS version? I wouldn't suggest writting any
significant amount of code with the 0.1.x series since 0.2.0 will not be
source compatable. With the code in CVS, all you need to do is import
CosNaming after you make sure your IDLPATH has an entry for the
directory in which the name service IDL is located. (If no IDLPATH is
specified it defaults to the cwd.) It's really pretty magical, and
probably recommended given that load_idl is an ORBit-Python specific
extension and not part of the mapping specification.

I haven't, no, but the code is in place to pass command line args over
to ORBit, so it should work. It isn't thoroughly tested mind you, so
there could be a bug. Let me know about that and I'll fix it this
weekend if there's a problem.
