 * @brief This class implements the basic interface for supporting
 * multiple profiles.
 *
 * Multiple profiles can be treated either as a circular queue or
 * a linear array of profiles.
 * It is assumed that locking will only be required when a profile
 * list is associated with a TAO_Stub.  Thus when the
 * TAO_Stub accepts ownership of an MProfile it also assumes
 * responsibility for controling access (i.e. locking).
