ORB options, such as -ORBDottedDecimalAddresses, that expect boolean arguments (0 or 1) blindly accept any argument. Currently all that is done is an atoi() on the argument. This causes problems since the following would be valid: -ORBDottedDecimalAddresses -ORBDebugLevel 6 The -ORBDottedDecimalAddresses option in this case would not work as expected. In my opinion, any option that expects a boolean argument should either be corrected to check if the argument is a valid boolean value, or the boolean argument should be removed entirely. There just doesn't appear to be much point in expecting a boolean argument. You either supply the argument or you don't. At the very least, the checking for proper boolean arguments should be implemented.

It looks like Luther accepted this bug but didn't assign it to himself.
My address is luther@cs... I will try to find a way to change it in Bugzilla. I will also try to fix this ASAP.
Anyone knows what is the status on this one? May be a good bug for new comers to fix. Can someone please fill in the status?
