I've heard similar rumors about that in regard to 9.0 since they're going
to a total java solution (read, mistake) but from what I understand, the
application is migrating to that solution, I haven't heard of the current C
API offerings being discontinued, but the development for 9.0 is so new
that none of it is nailed down I think.  It would take a total rewrite of
the Java API since it currently uses the same methodology that the Perl API
we install does in that it wraps the native C API.

To address whether it's a C code issue or a BMC one, I think the RPC bug is
actually a BMC thing that they haven't addressed yet.  I was given a Bug #
which I have misplaced (a colleague is searching for it and will reach out
to BMC for it again if it does not surface), but if anyone would like to do
exploratory surgery on the connection handler to see how it sets up the RPC
translation, I'm all for helping.

Misi and I had talked off-list about bringing the install up to date, but I
just haven't had the time to address it, and I get the feeling people
on-list are equally swamped.
