1. the macro :
// ------------------------------------
int prod()
{ 
 ifstream datfile("test2.ve");
 return 0;  
} 
//-------------------------------------
produces :
Fatal in <operator delete>: storage area overwritten
aborting
IOT/Abort trap (core dumped)
on Alpha and other systems (Irix and Linux) give nearly the same result.
using a new construct works until one tries to read the file :
//--------- Prod.C --------------
int prod()
{  
  ifstream* df = new ifstream("ein.ve");
  Float_t x;
   
  df >> x;
  return 0;  
} 
//-------------------------------------
used in the root :
root [10] .! more ein.ve 
1 2.3  4.5
1 2.31 4.5
1 2.32 4.5
1 2.34 3.5

1 2.32 4.5
1 2.34 3.5
1 2.35 4.45
root [11] .x prod.C()   
!!! 0 object(s) deleted by Garbage Collection !!!
Error: R Illegal operator for real number
FILE:/d25/herab/users/braeuer/laser98/./prod.C LINE:6
(class ifstream*)0x1406b5a00
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
root [12] 
//--------------------------------------------
On the other hand the ">>"works while using the first version shown above,
which sends root to hell when leaving the function.
What do I miss ?
Thaks for your help,
Greetings Martin
