[ROOT] SetName and FindObject

Hi Rooters.

Is there a way to get a pointer to an object whose name
was set with TNamed::SetName()?  I was expecting to be
able to use TROOT::FindObject() but that apparently doesn't
work.  e.g.

root [0] TF1* f1 = new TF1("f1", "gaus(0)/25.07/[2]", -5, 5);
root [1] TF1* f2 = (TF1*) f1->Clone();
root [2] f2->SetName("f2");
root [3] f1->GetName()
(const char* 0x86c1fcc)"f1"
root [4] gROOT->FindObject("f1")
(const class TObject*)0x86c1ed8
root [5] f2->GetName()
(const char* 0x86ec094)"f2"
root [6] gROOT->FindObject("f2")
(const class TObject*)0x0

Thanks.

Stephen
