This is a known problem with "irfeed" and it has been fixed. 

The problem was basically due to the '_' being stripped off the begining
of a remote call to '_is_a'.  The fix is very simple and involves one
file.

File:  OB-4.3.1/ob/src/library/POAServantBase.cpp

Fix:
  Line 173, Add:

        if(!strcmp(op, "_interface") || !strcmp(op, "_is_a")
                || !strcmp(op, "_non_existent"))
            return -1;

This prevents the strip for these special cases.

Please have a try and let me know if it works for you.

Regards,

Joe
