Problem with histogram stats when executing macros

Dear ROOTers,

         in this days I'm preparing a macro in which several files are opened and histograms from different files are stacked together and compared. I'm having some problem getting the TPaveStats object from an histogram but only when commands are executed within a macro. Attached you can find both the macro and the ROOT file containing the histogram.

If I load the macro (.L test.C) and execute the function test(), the TH1D::FindObject("stats") fails and the TPaveStats pointer is null, instead if I copy/paste all the instructions into an interactive ROOT session, I got a proper TPaveStats pointer. What's wrong? Can you reproduce the problem on your system?

I'm using ROOT v5-11-06 on a SLC 4 box.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Best regards,

Antonio
