The CORBA.ORB.init(String args[], Properties props) method throws
SecurityException when custom SecurityManager is installed.

This problem appears during JCK test runs.
The JCK test monitor setup own SecurityManager that deny properties access
(and some other permissions), to prevent corrupting java environment by tests.

Thus all tests that use ORB.init() methods fail with SecurityException in jdk1.4.
They works correctly under jdk1.3, so this is regression
