problem with Reset in rootlogon file

Hello,

in ROOT 4.02/00 on slc3, I have a problem when using gROOT->Reset(); in the rootlogon.C script.
I can do

root [0] gROOT->Reset();
root [1] cout << "Hello World" << endl;
Hello World

without problem. But as soon as I move the Reset command into my rootlogon.C script, cout is corrupted:

root [0] cout << "Hello World" << endl;

Error: Symbol cout is not defined in current scope  FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
Error: << Illegal operator for pointer 3 FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1
Error: << Illegal operator for pointer 3 FILE:(tmpfile) LINE:1

*** Interpreter error recovered ***
root [1]

This was produced with the following simple rootlogon.C script: tschieti_at_lxplus009_525>cat rootlogon.C
{
gROOT->Reset();
}

A simple workaround is to use printf() instead of cout, but that's not a good solution as many pre-existing macros contain cout statments.

Thanks for any help,

Thomas
