I included these asserts to trap any future change in the size of these 
types.
Accidently changing these sizes silently breaks previous archives which is
a major pain.

boost/archive/tracking_type is actually a bool - which I had assumed would
be a char in all machines.  So I guess that correct way to express this 
would be:

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(tracking_type) == sizeof(bool));

Try making this change and verify that it fixes the problem and I'll check 
in
the change.
