Actually that may work.  The problem only manifests itself when
one reads a binary archive created with 1.42 (and I believe 1.43)

I did not use 1.42 version.

I recommend using 1.44 if one is going to use binary_archives

I believe that 1.44 is already released (www.boost.org)

And this fix-six changes the version # of 1.42 files to 7 from 6.
