#4 EchoClient does not work with Mono

[Kristopher Johnson]

Attempting to build and run the Remoting.Corba.dll
(version 1.1) and EchoClient example with Mono results
in this exception:

Exception: System.NullReferenceException:
A null value was found where an object instance was
required

in <0x00066> 00
System.Runtime.Remoting.TypeInfo:.ctor (System.Type)

in <0x0003d> 00
System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef:.ctor
(System.Type,string,object)

in <0x00037> 00
System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingServices:Connect
(System.Type,string)

in <0x00138> 00
Remoting.Corba.Examples.EchoClient.App:Main (string
[])

It is unknown whether this bug is related to (a) old
version of Remoting.Corba.dll or (b) missing functionality
in Mono.

I've tried running the EchoClient application using Mono 0.30.1.
I rewrote a simple EchoServer in C++ using TAO 1.3 with the
required interface. When I start the client I get the
following error-message:

Exception: System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Cannot

So, I started the server, copied the file containing the IOR
to the EchoClient directory, and fired up mono EchoClient
echo.ior.
