Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0              |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.34.1              |    Severity:  Showstopper

--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 When saving std::wstring with Japanese chars on an English system,
 std::wctomb fails (due to incorrect locale). The conversion should be done
 to UTF-8 instead which is locale-independent. For workaround I now store
 std::string with UTF-8 encoding.
