Re: [boost] serialization problem with binary archives on v1.33

I've learned a bit more.  This also fails with VC++ 7.1.  Also the 
object that I'm serializing is being serialized right after a binary 
buffer is
saved and loaded (using save_binary & load_binary).  If I comment out 
the save/load of the binary buffer then it seems to work ok.
