[omniORB] omniORB 4.0.0: Compiling with VS.NET under Windows XP fails

[p.klotz@icoserve.com]

Hi developers

I am using Windows XP together with Visual Studio.NET and ran into the
following compile problem.

omniidl.exe segfaults and the make process aborts.

----------------------------------------------

I am using the provided Python package omnipython-x86_win32.zip, the
minimal cygwin version gnu-win32-lite.zip and the Windows fix
omniORB-4.0.0-x86-win32-fix.zip.

As platform I choose x86_nt_4.0.

Everything compiles clean when I use Visual Studio 6.0.

Best regards, Peter.
