[omniORB] "import _GlobalIDL" runtime error

[Bob.Barry@Level3.com]

The instruction "import _GlobalIDL" raises the following runtime error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in ?
    import _GlobalIDL
  File "/export/home/bbarry/PY/Test/_GlobalIDL/__init__.py", line 6, in ?
    import Proxy_idl
  File "/export/home/bbarry/PY/Test/Proxy_idl.py", line 21, in ?
    class ProxyAgent :
  File "/export/home/bbarry/PY/Test/Proxy_idl.py", line 54, in ProxyAgent
    class ProxyAgentError (CORBA.UserException):
  File "/export/home/bbarry/PY/Test/Proxy_idl.py", line 68, in
ProxyAgentError
    _m_ProxyAgentErrorInfo  = ((100, "memory_problem_info",
_0__GlobalIDL.ProxyAgent._d_MemoryProblemInfoType),)
AttributeError: _d_MemoryProblemInfoType

Here is the text of the only IDL file involved:

interface ProxyAgent
{
    typedef short  ProxyAgentErrorType;
    typedef string MemoryProblemInfoType;

    const ProxyAgentErrorType ProxyAgentErrorIdBase = 100;
    const ProxyAgentErrorType MemoryProblem = ProxyAgentErrorIdBase;

    exception ProxyAgentError
    {
       union ProxyAgentErrorInfo switch(ProxyAgentErrorType)
       {
          case MemoryProblem:
               MemoryProblemInfoType
               memory_problem_info;
       }proxy_agent_error_info;
    };
};

interface proxyAgentFactory
{
    typedef short  FactoryErrorType;
    typedef string MemoryProblemInfoType;

    const FactoryErrorType FactoryErrorIdBase = 100;
    const FactoryErrorType MemoryProblem = FactoryErrorIdBase;

    exception ProxyAgentFactoryError
    {
       union FactoryErrorInfo switch(FactoryErrorType)
       {
          case MemoryProblem:
               MemoryProblemInfoType
               memory_problem_info;
       }factory_error_info;
    };
};

A vendor gave me IDL similar to this, so I hope it's something fixed in
omniidl; the vendor never will fix it.
