System Exception in ServantActivator.etherealize() causes StackOverflowError

******************************************************************************

- build j2sdk-1_4_1-beta-bin-b08-solaris-sparc-09_apr_2002

- Spec reference (formal/99-10-07) Section 11.3.5.2

- Problem description.

As per the spec Section 11.3.5.2 if etherealize operation returns a system exception, POA ignores the exception.

The current implementation does not handle this exception and just returns it to the thread invoking POA.destroy(true,true). The causes POA to be in an undefined state and any subsequent requests results in an infinite recursion and a StackOverflowError internally in POA. The client receives CORBA.UNKNOWN with a minor code 202.
