+      <LI> The problems arising due to public virtual inheritance when
+          casting from an interface class to CORBA::Object_ptr has
+          been solved. We do this casting inside the stubs/skeletons
+          rather than first converting an interface class pointer to a
+          void*, storing it in an Any, and casting it to
+          CORBA::Object_ptr in the encode/decode methods. The casting
+          inside the stubs/skeletons work because the compiler has
+          knowledge of both types. </LI>
