+====== Root-files ======
+Root-files can be the source of various problems.
+Usually they are caused by hidden changes in the internal state of ROOT.
+ROOT stores the active directory and uses this to create new objects and look for existing ones.
+The active directory is changed when a new file is opened.
+This can lead to unexpected behaviours and hard to trace bugs.
