  42  * The higher 20 bits of any CORBA exception hold "Vendor Minor Codeset ID"
  43  * (VMCID), for instance 0x4F4D0000 (OMG standard), 0x54410000 (TAO), 0x4A430000
  44  * (JacORB), 0x49540000 (IONA), 0x53550000 (Sun).
  45  * </p>
  46  * <p>
  47  * GNU Classpath official vendor minor code set id is 0x47430000 ("GC\x00\x00"),
  48  * and the reserved space spans till 0x47430FFF, allowing to use up to 4096
  49  * Classpath specific exceptions. It was assigned 30/09/2005 by OMG Vice President
  50  * Andrew Watson.
  51  * </p>
  52  * <p>
  53  * The standard minor codes for the standard system exceptions are prefaced by
  54  * the VMCID assigned to OMG, defined as 0x4F4D0000 (the code of the minor field
  55  * for the standard exception with minor code 1 is 0x4F4D0001). Within a vendor
  56  * assigned space, the assignment of values to minor codes is left to the
  57  * vendor.

  60  * <p>
  61  * The VMCID 0 and 0xFFFFF0000 are reserved for experimental use.
