[ROOT] h2root bug?

 Hi,

  I have quite few hbook file generated by Geant Version 3.2170. However,
when I convert the files I sometimes get the following messages.

R__unzip: error during decompression
Error in <TBasket::Read>: fObjlen = 6276, nout = 0
R__unzip: error during decompression
Error in <TBasket::Read>: fObjlen = 6408, nout = 0
R__unzip: error during decompression
Error in <TBasket::Read>: fObjlen = 6308, nout = 0
Fatal in <operator new>: storage exhausted
aborting

 I found out, that this error is associated just with some specific
variable. Which one it is changes, when I rerun h2root. It is not really
deterministic and sometimes the file is good.

 Looking to the file in the paw shows, that everything is fine there -
even the variable corrupted in the root file.

 Switching off compression level doesn't help, just changes error message
to

 Fatal in <operator new>: storage exhausted
aborting

 There should be enough memory and disk space free on my computer.

I'm running version 2.25/03 on SuSE Linux 6.3 (i386) - Kernel 2.2.16

The files are under
