One tip --> in 1.33 you will need to make the date const or oa << d will fail.
   Serialization is now enforcing this previously documented part of the
interface...

So

 date d(2004, Apr, 5);

needs to be 

 const date d(2004, Apr, 5);

It's missing :-(

Doesn't seem like it.  I'm getting the same problem on Linux with gcc 3.x even
with the modification suggested above.  I'll look into it and let you know. 
BTW, the regression tests are passing, so I'm unsure what's happened here...
