Re: [Boost-users] Serialization problem on 64-bit Windows release

Is it possible that this might be related to the recently discovered fact 
(at least by me) versions of the serialization library are, contrary to 
intention, not thread safe?  That is, conflict occurs when multiple threads 
are using serilization even with different archive instances due to the fact 
that they share the same gobal extended_type_info table.  This has been 
addressed - and hopefully remedied in 1.35.
