The following changes or enhancements have been made to the OpenFusion TAO 1.6 distribution:
--ignore-failures [timeout_in_milliseconds] option has been added to DAnCE (TAO#731).
When DAnCE is started with this option, it ignores COMM_FAILURE, TRANSIENT, NO_RESPONSE, OBJ_ADAPTER, OBJECT_NOT_EXIST and AlreadyConnected exceptions in NodeApplication_Impl::finishLaunch, when it does a remote call to CCMObject. If timeout_in_milliseconds is specified, it ignores TIMEOUT exceptions as well if remote requests for the object time out after the time specified.
