[Boost-users] serialization stream error

I am trying to use the boost serialization library to save an objects 
from a class heiarchy.  I keep running into a stream error when 
deserializing a pointer from an xml archive.  I have everything 
registered (that took a while, but I have that problem figured out, I 
think), and the serialization to an xml archive seems to work just fine. 
  I have stepped through the deep nesting of calls to the exception and 
it is being thrown because the stream says it is bad when trying to read 
the end tag.

I also tried it with text archives, and I get the same problem.  I have 
done the obvious (to me at least) things such as class 
export/registration, us std::ios::binary for output/input stream 
instances.

Any advice on how to track down this problem with a stream error?  I 
have gone back to first principles with a simple example and that all 
seems to work.  So it is obviously user error. I am trying to understand 
what is wrong with my more involved case.  I appreciate any advice 
someone could give me.)

Thanks,
Phil
