Yes, this is a "confused Python with C" error in ethereal_gen.py:2103.
Sorry. Could please one of the people with svn write access fix it?

Hm, this function was "always there", but I had to declare it
"extern" in packet-giop.h. The function itself is in packet-giop.c.

I have to check with local checkout why the errors didn't occur
there - obviously I didn't send the correct patches. Possibly,
because I worked on two different machines and copied the wrong
file version or something.
