[omniORB] omniidl crash on NT

[Christian Eibl]

i'm using MSVC++ 6.0 (apart from that, i'm healthy ;-)
everything else in OmniORB seems to work fine, so i suppose it's not
a compiler problem.
below the outputs from the idl(pre)compiler and an
excerpt of the code where it crashes (seems that things mess up where
you are converting to the FILE struct...)
