 warning C4996 occurs during compilation of
 basic_binary_iprimitive::load_binary because of the call to '''sgetn'''
 method:

 ''
 warning C4996: 'std::basic_streambuf<_Elem,_Traits>::sgetn': Function call
 with parameters that may be unsafe - this call relies on the caller to
 check that the passed values are correct. To disable this warning, use
 -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See documentation on how to use Visual C++
 'Checked Iterators'      e:\boost\include\boost-
 1_46_1\boost\archive\basic_binary_iprimitive.hpp 161
 ''

 Minimal code to reproduce:
 {{{
 #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp>
 }}}

 easy solution for this is to use '''[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-

 us/library/aa985925%28VS.80%29.aspx _Sgetn_s]''' for VC 8.0 and higher.

 Patch with a quick fix is attached to the ticket.
