If you suspect the compiler I would run the whole test suite.  It might take 
overnight - but its much better then waiting for anomolies to appear in your 
code and trying to track them down on a case by case basis. You can run just 
the serialization part of the test suite, but you might as well just follow 
the instructions with 1.33 and just re-run the whole thing.  That wil give 
you table of any and all issues the version of the compiler you're using 
might have.
