[Boost-users] boost::serialization binary archives not portable?

Hi,

I have a problem with boost::serialization in that I cannot transport
binary archives between my macbookpro (osx 10.4 latest update) and my
dell box at work (ubuntu gutsy with universe). As a test I just
serialized a 10-byte binary object. Has anyone else been moving binary
archives between different platforms?

here are the stacktraces up to the exception throws

Moving from ubuntu to osx I get this
