Comment (by drivehappy@…):

 Aaron or Robert:
 I've run across this bug while switching serialization over to boost. We
 currently have several shared libraries that handle serialization, and
 this was actually triggered in our unit tests - in particular because I
 had added archives that serialized this particular object type as a
 pointer. Unfortunately, it took me the better part of the day to track
 down this.

 I have not yet tried to apply these patches to determine if they solve the
 issue (seems to be difficult under Windows).

 I assume this was simply not applied yet due to time to investigate
 further, is that still the case?
