 Stack trace with many recursive calls within is_a method (under
complete stack trace)

The StackOverflowError exception is thrown because there is too many
recursive calls from CorbaClientDelegateImpl.is_a which fills up the
stack.

In checking the code, it was calling recursively because
an exception : RemarshalException was caught, and this
routine "is_a" tries again. See line 221.

As you can see, the recursive call finally terminated, and
progresses on... but eventually reach the stack limit,
hence the exception.
