After getting your rabbit project working, I tried with my application 
that uses IDL files. This app reproduced the above problem :(.

I have attached a (near) minimal project that reproduces the bug. This 
is a stripped version of that application.

I think it is when you have another IDL file dependant on the first (see 
rabbit3.zip) - that is essentially the only thing I didn't try with your 
rabbit example.
