OK, thanks, that fixes it. I must have been lucky with the 32 bit
ones. I guess they were defined in the IDL as unsigned.

It does seem odd that the data specifies the type and then you have to
call a type specific function.

I assume as nobody has replied, there isn't an easier way than editing
the output of omniorb. It would be nice if there was a way of
adding some formatting hints in the IDL comments or something like that.
