[ROOT] Problem with rootcint

Hello,

I am having the following problem using rootcint from Root 3.00.06
on a SunOS 5.8 system:

rootcint -f ISDCParsCint.cxx -c -I/local/data/peachey/isdcsoft/root-3.00.06/root/include/root ISDCPars.h ISDCParsLinkDef.h
Class ISDC::ISDCPars: Do not generate Streamer() [*** custom streamer ***]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The problem occurred while adding a new enumerated type to a
header file which is included by ISDCPars.h. The seg fault goes
away if the number of values in the new enumerated type is reduced,
and it turns into a bus error if the number of values is increased.
There are two other enumerated types already defined in the same scope.
The linkdef file contains (including all three enumerated types):

// ISDCParsLinkDef.h
#ifdef __CINT__

#pragma link off all global;
#pragma link off all class;
#pragma link off all enum;
#pragma link off all function;
#pragma link off all typedef;

#pragma link C++ nestedclass;
#pragma link C++ nestedtypedef;

#pragma link C++ namespace ISDC;
//#pragma link C++ enum ISDC::ConversionEnums;
//#pragma link C++ enum ISDC::MonoTypeEnums;
//#pragma link C++ enum ISDC::ParamEnums;
#pragma link C++ typedef ISDC::ConversionEnumType;
#pragma link C++ typedef ISDC::MonoTypeEnumType;
#pragma link C++ typedef ISDC::ParamType;
#pragma link C++ class ISDC::ISDCPars-;

#endif

If the new enumerated type is defined in the header file, but none
of the enumerated values are actually used in my code, the problem
goes away.

I have also tried many other variations such as naming/not-naming
the enum types and uncommenting the lines above which link the enum
types in the linkdef file.

I know you will probably need more information to diagnose the
problem, but I'm not sure what else to tell you so please let me know.

Thanks,
James
