No, I'm afraid. As I said, I don't know what in the Serialization code 
triggers this problem and unfortunately Borland's compiler doesn't 
provide an instantiation trace, so investigating this issue would take a 
lot of time. I think it's better to follow Robert's suggestion and mark 
these as expected.
