Subject: Still another Portability issue

In section 18.1.2, the discussion of how _this() operates is missing
explicit information about what to do if there is no request context,
the POA does not have the IMPLICIT_ACTIVATION policy, the POA does
have
the RETAIN and UNIQUE_ID policies, but the servant has not been
activated.

Should _this() return a nil reference, or should an exception be
thrown,
and if so, which exception?
