Hmm.  Parsing stack for Struct in xmlrpc/parser seems to
be broken while parsing.

# MNeumann: At least, '@name' should be 'name' at line 518?
# Though it still doesn't work...

You can use XMLRPC::Convert.struct method for workaround.
AFAIK, it should be called by the parser when
ENABLE_MARSHALLING is true.

d = XMLRPC::Convert.struct( c )
p d #=> <Person...>
