Hi Rooters,
when runnning relatively long interactive analysis jobs I noticed
that the execution is affected by the changes I make to the source file
of the running macro in case I save the changed macro on disk.
Most of the times my job just crashes. Is there a good reason for CINT
(ROOTCINT) following what is happening on disk *AFTER* the macro has been
loaded and (fortunately) precompiled?

If there is, it would be very nice if this feature which seems to be quite
important were documented.
regards, pasha.
