Description Carlos O'Ryan 2004-09-19 20:55:17 CDT 
Sequences in TAO use virtual functions, also, the base class contains the buffer
as a void* pointer.  The motivations for this are no longer valid (the virtual
functions were used in the interpretive CDR marshaling engine, removed in March
2000!)

Using virtual functions increases the run-time memory footprint, though in a
probably insignificant way.

But the void* makes debugging more cumbersome than it should be.

Yet another sequence bug.

Reassign, this one is handled in the sequenceupdate branch which will be made
public with the x.5.2 release
