    AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: CosNotifyFilter::Filter
  
      Return structure of CosNotifyFilter::Filter::add_constraints()
      is not properly populated. The member ConstraintInfo.constraint_id

      remains unset.

    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
        COMPILATION? no
        LINKING? no
            On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first?
        EXECUTION? yes
        OTHER (please specify)?

    SYNOPSIS:
        Random content of return value ConstraintInfo.constraint_id
        upon call of CosNotifyFilter::Filter::add_constraints().
        
    DESCRIPTION:
      Return structure of CosNotifyFilter::Filter::add_constraints()
      is not properly populated. The member ConstraintInfo.constraint_id

      remains unset.
      
      Source code in
ACE_wrappers/TAO/orbsvcs/orbsvcs/Notify/ETCL_Filter.cpp
      clearly shows that the struct member does not get populated.

    REPEAT BY:
      In the Filter example
ACE_wrappers/TAO/orbsvcs/examples/Notify/Filter
      evaluate the return value of add_constraints() in Filter.cpp, line
163.
      The member constraint_id will show a random value.

    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
      unknown
