[ROOT] tree buffer question

  Hi,

  Starting recently (probably from ROOT 3.10-01) we have started to see
R__unzip errors in reading back tree branches containing only integers. It
is a bit complicated so I've not yet succeeded in reducing it to a simple
test case, but I already see something strange in looking at a file:

*............................................................................*
*Br   19 :Emc_Bumps__n : Emc_Bumps__n/i                                      *
*Entries :     6000 : Total  Size=      36446 bytes  One basket in memory    *
*Baskets :        0 : Basket Size=      32000 bytes  Compression=   1.00     *
*............................................................................*
*Br   21 :Emc_Clusters__n : Emc_Clusters__n/i                                *
*Entries :     6000 : Total  Size=      36464 bytes  One basket in memory    *
*Baskets :        0 : Basket Size=      32000 bytes  Compression=   1.00     *
*............................................................................*
*Br   23 :Emc_Cands__n : Emc_Cands__n/i                                      *
*Entries :     6000 : Total  Size=      36446 bytes  One basket in memory    *
*Baskets :        0 : Basket Size=      32000 bytes  Compression=   1.00     *
*............................................................................*

Is it normal that the total size would exceed the basket size yet a basket
is not compressed and written separately from the tree?

  I recall that you put in some bug fix recently related to compression of
branches containing integers, could you remind me what was that fix?

  [For the record, we are working on Linux (RH7.2) with gcc 2.95.3.]

                                 thanks,
                                   Pete
