Why I get ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when inserting a large byte array into an Any?

There is/was a bug in jacorb that wouldn't let you do the following:

   ORB orb = ORB.init(args, props); 
   
   // any byte[] larger than 4000 causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException
   // when inserting into the any
   byte[] bytes = new byte[4001]; 
   Any any = orb.create_any(); 
   OctetSeqHelper.insert(any, bytes); 

We solved that by producing a patched jacorb.jar v2.2.1 (JBoss patch 1).

This is included from JBoss v4.0.2beta+
