[ROOT] Lost errors for TH2 as read from a h2root-converted file

Hello,

when reading a *.root-file converted by h2root from an hbook-file, the
errors for 2-dimensional histograms seem to get lost, because
TH2::GetBinError(...) renders the square root of the entries, whereas
the corresponding histograms in the hbook-file contained different
errors. The same does not seem to happen for TH1-instances. 

Now, I store the error-histograms separately in the hbook-file and then
force the errors for the 2-dim histograms under question to the
associated entries in them under ROOT using TH2::SetBinError(...), but
surely this is not the most elegant way to do it, because it doubles
the number of histograms to be written by the hbook-generating
program. 

Has this been encountered before and is it the consequence of a
possible mistake of mine?

Thanks for help,
Kay
