Anything that works for text must work for xml (assuming NVP is used
correctly) so by definition you've found a bug.  I will look into this - it
shouldn't be too difficult.

You must be, this is the third bug you've found in the system.  And this is
in spite of having run 200 tests with 5 or six different compilers!

One thing I notice rigth off the bat.  I believe there is a bug in the 1.32
version that will be fixed in the next version regarding the usage of < and

BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(std::vector<T>)

in your case.  try changing the name to remove the < and > characters and
see if that helps. try:

ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("vectorT",
boost::serialization::base_object<name >(*this));
