Note previous version had a bug, attached in a newer version, and also
less error-filled example idl(s) ( one that can be used with midl, one
with pidl). As previously mentioned it appears such a recursive
structure arrangement seems to cause MIDL to barf [1], I still don't
believe that is a reason for pidl to similarly fail (or hang), note:
also the ndr marshall/unmarshall generated work fine
