Changes (by ramey):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 For serializing a pointer off the stack, one might better just de-
 reference the pointer and just serialize the object: e.g.

 my_object *p = ...

 ar & *p


 The fix suggested would need to be looked at with excruciating detail to
 be sure it doesn't break anything else.  Not a good idea.

 I am aware of the need to be able to suppress tracking on a case by case
 basis but I don't think this is a good way to do it.
