[Boost-users] Possible error in serialization library

I ran some of my code through valgrind and it detected the use of an
uninitialized value in the serialization library, as reported below:

==21969== Use of uninitialised value of size 8
==21969==    at 0x80A9CE3: void boost::archive::xml_oarchive_impl<boost::archive::xml_oarchive>::save<double>(double const&) (xml_oarchive.hpp:53)
==21969==    by 0x80A9CD6: void boost::archive::save_access::save_primitive<boost::archive::xml_oarchive, double>(boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, double const&) (oserializer.hpp:97)
==21969==    by 0x80A9CB1: boost::archive::detail::save_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::xml_oarchive, double>::save_primitive::invokex(boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, double const&) (oserializer.hpp:217)
==21969==    by 0x80A9C97: boost::archive::detail::save_non_pointer_type<boost::archive::xml_oarchive, double>::invoke(boost::archive::xml_oarchive&, double const&) (oserializer.hpp:309)

I took a peek at the code, but I can't see anything obviously wrong, so
the report may be spurious.
