Comment (by jefffaust):

 Ostap,

 Using text_w?archive does address our problem.  Thanks for the help.
 However, I still consider this a bug.  Attempting to serialize a wstring
 should fail to compile, in the same way that "cout << wstring();" fails to
 compile.  As it is currently, it fails at runtime in frustratingly subtle
 ways.

 Jeff
