Re: array typedef problem?

[Bowie Owens <bowie owens csiro au>]

Hi Robert,

You found a bug in the IDL compiler. I have fixed it in CVS. Can you 
please upgrade to the latest version in CVS and confirm that it works 
for you.

PS I am not sure how heavily the array code has been tested, please 
continue to post any problems you have with orbitcpp. Nice small 
reproducible test cases (like the one below) are most appreciated.
