potential problem with generation of Class::Streamer function

From: Pasha Murat (murat@cdfsga.fnal.gov)

Enclosed below is an example of simple class representing a YBOS (YBOS=Zebra') 
bank, which is derived from TObject and contains an array of integers of 
fixed length. For some reason the Streamer method generated by rootcint
saves/restores only TObject and pretends to know nothing about the array
itself...

Is it the expected behaviour and one should write Streamer by hands in this case
or i'm just missing a way to tell rootcint about my object correctly?

					Thanks a lot , Pasha
