Hello Bill,
The basket size is automatically extended to accomodate at least
one entry. I don't think there is a problem there.

The first thing to check is to read your Trees(s) using the standard
Root browser. If you have only TClonesArrays, you should be able
to inspect all your attributes with the standard Root without your
classes. If this works, you should then suspect a possible error
in the way you set your branch addresses in the reading program.

Let me know when you have a (small) file with problems, I will
investigate.
