That is a bug in omniidl. I've fixed it in CVS. The problem is that both
Principal and TypeCode are pre-defined types in the CORBA module, so
omniidl tries to output an error message. That's what blows up. With the
fix in place, you'll get an error telling you that Principal and
TypeCode are redefined, so you need to remove that IDL anyway.

Thanks for the bug report.

Cheers,

Duncan.
