I've checked in a fix into the develop branch.  I havn't yet seen the 
results of the ublas tests but I'm hopeful that this problem will 
disappear.  For me it's not really an ublas problem but a serialization 
library backwards compatibility problem.

The only problem now is that the fix breaks the test_array in the 
serialization library due to some behavior of the build system which we 
haven't been unable to pin down.  Very annoying.

I'm curious as to why you replaced ublas with QVM.  Why was one superior 
to the other?
