Problem description:

 Mapping for Java char constant to IDL is incorrect. The output below showed
 decimal numbers, but not the expecting literal characters in the generated .idl
 file

- The fix was NOT done correctly yet in this build
  j2sdk-1_4_0-beta_refresh-bin-b75-solsparc-09_aug_2001

- According to the CORBA spec formal/99-10-07 section 3.2.5.2 that character
  literal should enclosed in single quotes. Unfortunately, the generated
  .idl (shown below) did NOT have it
