because archives should never read beyond the end of the stream.
The current version does this but this is an oversight which will be
correctedin the next release.

The fix is in test_oarchive_impl.ipp which will invoke os << std::endl
when the archive is closed.  This should be sufficient that the stream
is never read beyond EOF.
