Cripes!? So the default values can be used by calling create_channel with
empty lists as arguments to QoS-settings?! And I thought that I had tried
that out already. Apparently not. Maybe this should be spelled out
somewhere in the Guide for novices like me :-). Well, on the positive side,
I should have learned the records syntax anyway in the near future.

Orber version is 3.2.2. Frankly, I don't know for sure, that the wstrings
are to blame, but Mr. Björn Wingman have encountered the same problem (
http://lists.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mailman/htdig/jacorb-developer/2001-February/001539.html
). Before I applied the fix for JacORB 1.3.21 fix for TypeCode (
http://jacorb.inf.fu-berlin.de/problemscontents.html ) the symptoms were
the same as Björn had. After the patch, dior (dump ior) reports little bit
different problem. Here's what the dior has to say about channel's ior:

So it seems that something is still wrong with the wstrings? I haven't had
chance to try decode this ior with anything else besides JacORB's dior.
Could there still be problem with JacORB or is the ior corrupted by Orber?
Here's the ior just for sure, if you want to try it for yourself:
