[boost] question re VC 8.0

The test results for the serialization library show a problem with VC 8.0
which for the life of me I can't understand.

kAssociates-bin-boost-libs-serialization-test-test_array_binary_archive-test
-vc8-0-debug.html

The corresponding code is below.  If someone has any insight here I would
love to here it.  FWIW - no other compiler complains.  - and I can't see
anything wrong with it.  If it's a bug - how do I work around it?

Thanks in advance.
