Hi Jeff,

Pablo Aguilar has found the issue with serializing ptimes and bcc32. 
The serialize functions work fine, unless you pre-compile the 
serialization headers and not the time_serialize.hpp header.  This leads 
to the error

[C++ Error] serialization.hpp(121): E2015 Ambiguity between 
'boost::serialization::void 
serialize<boost::archive::text_oarchive>(boost::archive::text_oarchive 
&,boost::posix_time::ptime &,const unsigned int)' and 
'boost::serialization::void 
serialize<boost::archive::text_oarchive,boost::posix_time::ptime>(boost::archive::text_oarchive 
&,boost::posix_time::ptime &,const unsigned int)'

The solution is to either not pre-compile any of the serialization stuff 
or add time_serialize.hpp to the pre-compiled list also.

So looks like nothing for you to fix for 1.33 :) (Unless you want to add 
a note about this to the docs)

Thanks

Russell
