[Boost-users] [serialization]Mal-formed XML output

I've finally gotten serialization for XML archives to compile using
Boost 1.33.1.  Now I'm trying to execute the test.  Unfortunately, 
the first archive output statement

    outArchive << BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(testObj_out);

triggers an exception saying, "unrecognized XML syntax".  The
output file looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE boost_serialization>
<boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive" version="3">
<testObj_out class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="1">
        <px class_id="1" tracking_level="1" version="0" object_id="_0"</boost_serialization>

Note that the closing ">" for the px element is missing, which
is probably the reason why there is no newline before 
</boost_serialization>.

The serialize() function for the class object being archived has
one ar & for a base class plus three data members.  So, it looks
like serialization is going awry while string to write the initial
class element and never gets to the class contents.

By the way, I've never seen the XML root element (<boost_serialization>)
with attributes.  Is that standard?

Any ideas?
