Re: [Boost-users] Serialization valgrind reports errors in load()...

I did take a cursory look at it and didn't see anything which would
explain such a message.  In fact, the implementation of reset_object_address
is compiled into the library so I couldn't even see how such a thing
could even be detected by just looking at the header.  Of course
the error message is pretty cryptic to my eye as I don't use that
tool myself so it could well be the error message was misinterpreted.
