-	This set of changes are for bug 977.
-
-	* tao/MCAST_Parser.i:
-	* tao/MCAST_Parser.h:
-	* tao/MCAST_Parser.cpp:
-
-		The Parser for the new IP multicast format. The multicast
-	format is  mcast://mcast_address:mcast_port:nic_address:ttl.
-	All the multicast requests are now dealt via this parser. The default
-	multicast address is 224.9.9.2. The default multicast port is
-	10013 ( the same port that we used for NameService .. no big
-	reason .. just a simple choice), default nic is eth0 and default
-	TTL value is 1.
-
-	* tao/TAO_Internal.cpp:
-	  Add MCAST protocol to the list of services that have to be
-	  initiated.
-
-	* tao/ORB.h :
-	* tao/ORB.cpp :
-	  Moved the multicast_to_service and multicast_query methods to
-	  MCAST_Parser. Modified ::resolve_service accordingly.
-
-	* tao/ORB_Core.cpp :
-	  Check for mcast: format when ORBDefaultInitRef option is used
-	  and set the object delimiter to '/' if it is mcast protocol.
-
-	* tao/default_resource.cpp:
-	  Modify the total no. of parsers to check for: from 4 to 5.
-	  and dynamically load the MCAST_Parser too.
-
-	* tao/Makefile:
-	  Added MCAST_Parser
-
-	* orbsvcs/tests/IOR_MCast/README :
-	* orbsvcs/tests/IOR_MCast/Makefile :
-	* orbsvcs/tests/IOR_MCast/MCast.idl :
-	* orbsvcs/tests/IOR_MCast/MCast_Server_i.h :

-	* tao/Endpoint.h: Added a lock that is used to lock when a thread
-	  does remote object address lookups. Theoretically speaking we
-	  shouldnt be putting the lock in the TAO_Endpoint class. But as
-	  the lock is required for most of the protocols supported in TAO
-	  we have pushed it here. We also believe that other protocols may
-	  need a lock during lookups.
-
-	* tao/IIOP_Enpoint.i: Hold a lock in object_addr (). There was a
-	  subtle race condition in that method. In object_addr (void) the
-	  code first checks for object_addr_.get_type() != AF_INET and, if
-	  so, it calls ACE_INET_Addr::set(). ACE_INET_Addr::set() sets
-	  type field to AF_INET, zeros the inet_addr structure and then
-	  does a hostname lookup.
-
-	  If two threads enter the object_addr() method the first may end
-	  up blocked for a while in the hostname lookup.  The second
-	  thread will see that AF_INET is set and return an (zero'ed)
-	  ACE_INET_Addr structure.
-
-	  The race can happen from TAO_IIOP_Connector::connect() when
-	  multiple threads attempt to talk to the same object.  You will
-	  sometimes see transient exceptions as one of the threads tries
-	  to connect to the (invalid) inet_addr. This could potentially
-	  fix #189, but it hasnt been tested out properly. Thanks to
-	  <pphillip@opentext.com> for nailining the probelm and suggesting
-	  this fix. This should fix #1017.
-
-	* tao/Strategies/DIOP_Endpoint.i:
-	* tao/Strategies/SHMIOP_Endpoint.i: Applied the same fix.
-
-	* orbsvcs/orbsvcs/SSLIOP/SSLIOP_Endpoint.i: Just added a comment
-	  telling that we shouldnt be holding the lock as the lock is being
-	  held in the IIOP class.
-
-	* tao/IIOP_Transport.cpp:
-	* tao/Strategies/DIOP_Transport.cpp:
-	* tao/Strategies/SHMIOP_Transport.cpp:
-	* tao/Strategies/UIOP_Transport.cpp:
-	* orbsvcs/orbsvcs/SSLIOP/SSLIOP_Transport.cpp: Do not print out
-	  error messages if the recv () returns from a timeout. This extra
-	  print statements in a thread-per-connection case, when a thread
-	  timedout, was causing more confusion than it tried addressing.
