The number of entries 1234567890 indicates that the real number of entries
are not yet been loaded in memory.  This should not be a problem.

Nonetheless, please re-try with 3.05/07, the consequence of the bugs that
were fixed are usually 'random' behavior.

Cheers,
Philippe.

Subject: [ROOT] copying chains


Hi all,

I just tried to copy a tree from a chain of files into a single file.
I used the code
  TTree *newtree = oldtree->CloneTree();
in
http://root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/copytree.C.html
with ROOT Version 3.05/02 on Linux (RedHat 7.3).

Using one file or a chain with one file seems to work fine but
for a chain of more than one file, the writing never ends.

Using the method in
http://root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/copytree2.C.html
with
  TTree *newtree = oldtree->CloneTree(0);
  newtree->CopyEntries(oldtree);
seems to work for all cases.

I also noticed that the number of entries in an
  oldtree->ls()
seems to be wrong for the second (and all following) files:
inter_file_date20030728_time120505.root tree:main_scan entries=571
inter_file_date20030728_time174104.root tree:main_scan entries=1234567890
inter_file_date20030728_time192411.root tree:main_scan entries=1234567890
....

If CloneTree uses this number, I am no longer astonished that the
copying never ends ....

I did find some bug fixes mentioned in the release notes but I don't think
that any of those mentioned this problem specifically.

Ciao
Thomas
