This problem first appeared when Mattias Troyer merged his
work on the branch fast_array_serialization to the trunk, on Apr 30th,
and it's causing every (or nearly every) file which includes some of
Boost.Serialization to crash under MSVC 6.5. I guess the solution
is to #ifdef the stuff out for this compiler, but I don't know if this
could have unforeseen implications (my hunch is it won't, though, but
Mattias us surely in a better position to assess this.)
