[ROOT] Bug in 4.00/02 graphical editor TCutG

Dear ROOT team,

I am using the new ROOT version 4.00/02 with intel's icc 8.0 compiler, on
Gentoo 1.2 linux distribution.

Using the Event executable from $ROOTSYS/test, I created an Event.root file.
I then started a ROOT session and loaded the Event.root file and started the
a TreeViewer session (T->StartViewer()). I then made a plot of
fNvertex:fNseg and using the TCanvas Editor I made a graphical cut and
renamed it cut1.  Then I made the same plot again with cut1 listed in the
scissor box, and the proper plot was displayed.  I then made the same plot
again and got the error

*ERROR 30 :
 Bad numerical expression : "cut1"

In earlier versions all graphical cuts were persistant, but it seems they
are deleted now after a single plot.  Is this intended?

Thanks
Kerry


Below is the full ROOT session commands
