[ROOT] Vector stl pointer problem

Hello,

  I am just starting with root, and I am trying to compile a code 
without using ACLiC, but I have a small problem.
  In the header file used to create a dicitionary (TC_RODFragment.h) I 
have :

  ... 
  vector < UInt_t *> *Data_Fragments;
  ...

  When I run the rootcint to create the dictionary there is no problem. 
However inside the Streamer method I get :

  ...
  delete *Data_Fragments;
  *Data_Fragments = new vector<UInt_t*>;
  vector<UInt_t*> &R__stl = **Data_Fragments;
  R__stl.clear();
  TClass *R__tcl1 = TBuffer::GetClass(typeid(unsigned int*));
  int R__i, R__n;
  R__b >> R__n;
  R__stl.reserve(R__n);
  for (R__i = 0; R__i < R__n; R__i++) {
      unsigned int* R__t;
      R__b.StreamObject(&R__t,R__tcl1);
      R__stl.push_back(R__t);
  }
  ...

  However this causes an error when trying to compile. What I had to do is 
to change it by hand to, so I don't get any errors :
                                                                                      
  ...                                                                                
  delete Data_Fragments;                                                            
  Data_Fragments = new vector<UInt_t*>;                                             
  vector<UInt_t*> &R__stl = *Data_Fragments;                                        
  ...  

  My question is, why did it create inside the Streamer method 
*Data_Fragments instead of Data_Fragments, I how can I fix it without have 
to edit the file myself ?

Thanks in advance,

 Paulo da Silva
