This was apparently the repeating group from the header that didn't have
a home. I've updated the generator so it is not placed in this file
anymore.  I have checked the fix into the svn repository.

This should be referencing IntArray instead of intArray.  This fix has
also been checked into svn.

Can you provide more details?  Are you segfaulting immediately?  Does it
happen over time?
