Comment(by ramey):

 Hmmm - I'm not sure that is the correct fix.

 wouldn't it be better to use something like:

 boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(*_stream);
 while(! _stream->eof() && ! _stream->fail() ) {
     boost::shared_ptr<Message> msg; ia >> msg; ...
 }

 I'm reluctant to add "too much" code in the depths of the library.
