Found a problem using SYTEM_ID, PERSISTENT and activate_object_with_id. See the
diff below as extension for a test. What we now see is the we can activate the
object and when we give the object ref to the client and the client uses it, we
can't demarshal it because the code expects a fixed length part for the poa
name. To my idea the activate_object_with_id should check whether the passed oid
is a system id generated one. After investigation I found that in
TAO_Root_POA::is_poa_generated_id this is normally done, but all code there is
guarded by POA_NAME_IN_POA_GENERATED_ID which is not set so this check is not
done. When this define is removed the activate_object_with_id gives a bad param
exception as I would expect but I want to get some more feedback on this.
