Comment (by Phil Hartmann <phil.hartmann82@…>):

 I thought I had a potential fix, but to make matters significantly worse,
 this is the same problem 1.42 and 1.43 had.. Another major change without
 having ever bumped the revision number..

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/serialization/src/basic_archive.cpp

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/serialization/src/basic_archive.cpp


 So these two archives will serialization differently and there is no
 indicator of it.

 The only hope would be to put a compile/runtime switch and hope the user
 never serialized with both 1_37 and 1_40.
