Right. For now, I have cut and pasted the old oid_to_subid_buf into 
oid_resolv.c. This at least has made things build again.

LEGO, can I suggest that in future you don't even commit the templates 
for autogenerated files, such that we don't get into this situation.

Incidentally, is the right process for generating the asn dissectors to 
run "make" from the asn/* directories and then copy the generated files 
across? It seems kludgy, but I couldn't see a better way.

What is the reasoning behind checking in the generated asn dissectors? 
Is this for people without python on their boxes?
