Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0                                      |   Component:  multi_index
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0                                      |    Severity:  Cosmetic   
 Keywords:  multi_index_container serialization, multi_index  |  
--------------------------------------------------------------+-------------
 multi_index_container save and load member-functions use type
 "std::size_t" to serialize a container's size instead of
 boost::serialization::collection_size_type. It may cause some problems
 when portable binary archives are used, because std::size_t has different
 size in different platforms. boost::serialization::collection_size_type
 can be treated specially by portable archive implementations:
 collection_size_type used in the serialization implementation for the
 standart containers.
