[ROOT] get an histogram from a canvas...

Hello

I have the following problem: I wrote a canvas in a file and now I'd like to
get back the histogram from the 
canvas and do some stuff...
This is the 1st script:

   TFile miofile("Hfra40.root","read");
   miofile->ls();
   TCanvas *c1 = (TCanvas*)miofile.Get("c1");
   c1->Draw();

the c1 canvas is drawn and this is the output:
TFile**         Hfra40.root
 TFile*         Hfra40.root
  KEY: TCanvas  c1;1    c1

For now OK!

This is the 2nd script:

   TFile miofile("Hfra40.root","read");
   TH1F *hFra40;
   TCanvas *c1 = (TCanvas*)miofile.Get("c1");
   hFra40 = (TH1F*)c1->GetPrimitive("hFracEtcorr2Part");
   hFra40->Draw();

No error but no drawing -> not good (the name of the Histo is right!)

3th script:

   TFile miofile("Hfra40.root","read");
   TCanvas *c1 = (TCanvas*)miofile.Get("c1");
   TObject *obj; 
   TIter next(c1->GetListOfPrimitives());
   while ((obj=next())) {
     cout << "Reading: " << obj->GetName() << endl;
       if (obj->InheritsFrom("TH1")) {
	   cout << "histo: " << obj->GetName() << endl;
       }
  }  

the ouput of the script is:

Reading: TFrame
Reading: hFracEtcorr2Part
histo: hFracEtcorr2Part
Reading: title

No error -> everything seems OK!
but if I add the line
obj->Draw(); 
whitin the if statement... no drawing....

Last script:

   TFile miofile("Hfra40.root","read");
   TCanvas *c1 = (TCanvas*)miofile.Get("c1");
   TObject *obj; 
   TH1F *hFra40;
   TIter next(c1->GetListOfPrimitives());
   while ((obj=next())) {
     cout << "Reading: " << obj->GetName() << endl;
       if (obj->InheritsFrom("TH1")) {
	   cout << "histo: " << obj->GetName() << endl;
	   hFra40 = (TH1F*)obj->Clone();
       }
  }  
hFra40->Draw();

again no error... but if I open a Tbroswser and get to the file (maybe this
is the problem?) I see now the
histogram with name hFracEtcorr2Part: try to double click on it to draw it
and get this bunch of error:
 *** Break *** segmentation violation
