dictionary generation

Hi Rooters!

Using the Event-class as given in one of the examples on the root -
homepage, a problem concerning the dictionary generation or usage occurs, when
using a SGI running Irix 6.2 and gcc version 2.7.2.1 together with
root 2.00/09.

Applying rootcint to this file, I receive a message

"Note: operator new() masked 1c"

which is regarded to be harmless - at least some time ago (does this
still hold?). Afterwards, I compile the generated file and link the
obejct file to my application. All happens without any error message
or similar output. Starting the process, I receive a message

Warning in <TClass::TClass>: no dictionary for class Event available

which turns out to have a rather nasty reason, since ignoring this
message leads to a segmentation violation when touching an instance of
this class first.

Can somebody give me a hint about the origin of this error and how to
avoid this?

Thanks, Robert
