Hi Rene,

Thanks so much for replying on a Sunday.  At first I thought it was a
compile or LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem, and have check three ways backward
and forward.  I keep several versions of root on my machine, so it is
possible that I've goofed.  I'll delete all the objects one more time
and triple check all the paths.   

Personally, I suspect that it's a deep, nasty bug in my code that is
just now being tickled.  I just wanted to make sure the interface hadn't
changed before I starting a major I/O debugging session.

Thanks,
Clark
