Others have already pointed out that the problem is the
incompatibility of FILE structures between Python, compiled with VC++
6 and VC++ 7.

I think I have checked in a fix for the situation, by using a
temporary file and opening it from omniidl rather than sharing a FILE*
with Python. I can't test it, however, since I don't have VS.NET. Can
someone with VS.NET please try omniidl from CVS and see if it works?

Cheers,

Duncan.
