writing pointers to pointers to a file

Dear rooters,

    would it be possible to write pointers to pointers into a file? The problem arises from the need to write an instance of a class which contains pointers to pointers data members into a file. In particular, the pointers to pointers are TH1F**, and the error message reads:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1433986848 (LWP 24923)] 0x048e1245 in vtable for TAxis ()

   from /home/zampolli/SOFT/ROOT/root/lib/libHist.so

This, as I said, trying to write an instance of the class. Moreover, trying to write directly on a file a pointer to pointer - such as with:    

   TH1F **hSPD = new TH1F*[2];
    char name[100];
    for (Int_t i=0;i<2;i++){

        sprintf(name,"hist_%i",i);
        hSPD[i]=new TH1F(name,name,10*(i+1),10*i,10*(i+1));

    hSPD->Write();

does not work either...
So, I'm wondering whether writing pointers to pointers to a file is not possible at all...
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
