You aren't the only one.  I also suffered from segfaults when loading
archives, both binary and text.  Usually triggered when saving doubles
or floats (always initialised).

I tried to reduce it to a testcase, but I ran out of time, so I
implemented my own archive/serialiser framework that used the same
serialize() functions that I had written for boost::archive.

It works, and I managed to get it to work with versioning etc (but no
pointer tracking and other stuff i dont need).   It uses
stream.write() and stream.read() to read/write in a non-portable
format, but at least it works!

There IS a problem in there somewhere.  I personally think its got to
do with the compiler using the wrong functions or something like that,
but I can't be sure.

Works fine on linux, gcc4,   would fail on mingw (gcc 3.3.5 i think,
whatever the latest version is).   I use stock boost 1.33.1 that I
compile myself.

see ya
