Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] tiny idl2eth patch

[Frank Singleton <frank.singleton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Until I add support for RECURSIVE structs and unions,
print an error and exit to avoid idl2eth running in 
loops. 

I should have the recursive stuff done in a couple 
of weeks.

twas diffed against 2001-10-18 nightly CVS tarball.

Cheers / Frank.
