[ROOT] Create Branch

Hi,
	I want to create a branch in a tree with a TVector. I was however 
unable to do so, since my simple macro crashes all the time. The macro 
looks like:
-----
#include "TFile.h"
#include "TTree.h"
#include "TBranch.h"
#include "TVector3.h"
#include "TRandom.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int createTreeTest2()
{
   TFile hfile("Event.root","RECREATE");


   // Create a ROOT Tree

   TTree *tree = new TTree("T","An example of a ROOT tree");

   TVector3* vp = new TVector3;

   // Create one branch. If splitlevel is set, event is a superbranch
   // creating a sub branch for each data member of the Event object.
   
   cout << "Creating vp branch" << endl;
   tree->Branch("vp","TVector3",vp);

   cout << "Iterating over events" << endl;

   // Fill event, header and tracks with some random numbers
   for (Int_t ev = 0; ev < 50; ev++) {
     Npa = 3;
     for (int i = 0; i < Npa; i++) {
       Double_t px = gRandom->Rndm(1);
       Double_t py = gRandom->Rndm(1);
       Double_t pz = gRandom->Rndm(1);
       vp->SetXYZ(px,py,pz);
     }



     //  Serialize single branch of event into one single basket
     cout << "Filling tree" << endl;
     tree->Fill();
   }
   tree->Print();
   hfile.Write();
   hfile.Close();
   return 0;
}
-----

When I execute the macro I get the following message:

root [0] .x createTreeTest2.C

and my terminal session blocks!... I am using Root 4.00/04 in a PC box
running Linux RH 9 (kernel 2.4.20-31.9).

Am I missing something?... Eventually I would like to store an array 
of TVector3. I could not figure how to do this except using 
the branch constructor for TClonesArray (which I did not manage to work 
either).

Thanks for your help,

		Isidro
