| The problem is clearly with the *de*serialisation.
| 
| Tracing back through the functions, this seems to be the function (in 
| basic_text_iprimitive.hpp) that reads doubles from XML files:
| 
|     void load(T & t)
|     {
|         if(is.fail())
|             
| boost::throw_exception(archive_exception(archive_exception::st
| ream_error));
|         is >> t;
|     }
| 
| This suggests that it is a broken feature of Microsoft's 
| operator>> for doubles read from filestreams.

I agree with you and suggest some simple tests as my previous mail to
confirm this.

But perhaps stringstreams are different from filestreams?

My recollection is that MS VC8 worked correctly both double and float for
stringstreams.
But do check.
