# need being updated: the method returns immediately.     #
# ------------------------------------------------------- #
# update() saves a reference to the old segment data area #
# and restores it if the specialised update routine fails.#
# This only generate a warning! Are there cleverer ways   #
# to handle this case? It is however better to have a     #
# corrupt object in memory, than a corrupt object written #
# over the original. Currently, this is restricted to the #
# possibility that an updated segment becomes too large.  #
