Comment (by ramey):

 I'm concerned about the fact that the output stream isn't closed before
 reading the file back.  Try the following changes in your example and see
 if it makes a difference

 {{{
 #include <sstream>
 #include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp>
 #include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp>

 int main(int argc, char * argv[])
 {

     long original = -1; // A non-negative value works fine
     long value = 0;

     {
         // Serialize
         std::ostringstream oss;
         boost::archive::binary_oarchive out(oss);
         out << original;
     } // leaving scope closes both the archive and the stream thus making
 sure no data is left in buffers

     {
         // Deserialize
         std::istringstream iss(oss.str());
         boost::archive::binary_iarchive in(iss);
         in >> value;    // exception raised here on OS X if original is a
 long < 0
     }

     return 0;
 }
 }}}
