I don't know much about the IDL stuff but I recently made a bunch of 
changes to it (and rebuilt the dissectors).  My cheat-sheet for how to 
re-generate them came from this check-in comment:

(Of course you also need the omniorb stuff, etc. first.)

If you don't want to muck with it I could try to apply this patch and 
regenerate but it'll probably be a few days before I'll have a chance.
