   * that bad.)
   *
   * In practice at the current time, the above theoretical case
   * never happens since the target specification always uses the
   * object key except for MIOP requests.  Remote ORBs can't respond
   * to MIOP requests even to send exceptions, so even in this case,
   * the race condition can't happen.
   *
   * Therefore, for the time being, there is no lock to protect the
   * addressing mode.  Given that the addressing mode is checked in
   * the critical path, this decision seems like a good thing.
