Hi,

I am using Boost 1.43.0, Linux 2.6.23, gcc version 4.0.0 on a Freescale PowerPC.

I am reading  in a serialized binary file using

Ifstream ifs;

try

{

Ifs.open(filename.c_str(), iso_base::binary | iso_base::in);

If(fs.is_open())

{

                                Boost::archive::binary_iarchive ia(ifs);

                                ia >> data;

                                ifs.close();

}

} catch (std:exception &e) {

Ifs.close();

}

Sometimes it reads the file fine and sometimes it throws one of the following errors.

invalid_signature, Basic_string::resize, or stream error.

Does anyone have an idea why sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work?

Best regards,

Robert McCullough
