Error in <TBufferFile::CheckByteCount>: read too few bytes

ROOT
1

Hi!

I’d like to load to my python workspace (non-standard) objects stored in ROOT files.

file = ROOT.TFile(filename) data = file.Get('label')

I receive the following error:

Error in TBufferFile::CheckByteCount: object of class WSeries read too few bytes: 9363600 instead of 9365139

The data type appears to be correctly read:

In[2]: data Out[2]: <ROOT.WSeries<double> object at 0x3b138b0>

However, accessing fields of that object leads to segfault

[code]In[3]: data.maxLayer()

*** Break *** segmentation violation
[/code]

Note that I don’t write and read with two computers/different configs (given below).

Any hints?
Eric
