[Boost-users] serialization 1.36.0 extended_type_info exit issue(s)

Folks,

    I'm running some serialization unit-tests which pass with flying colors
under 1.35.0 and earlier, however they seg-fault on exit when run through
1.36.0.

    The error appears to deal with destruction of extended_type_info_typeid
objects, and *only* manifests itself when I load an archive through a
shared_ptr<T>.  The load will appear to function properly, then on exit of
the application, <<Death>>.  This occurs even if I remove BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT
&& BOOST_CLASS_TYPE_INFO as the shared_ptr is to the derived element, and
I'm not testing through a base.

    My lastest guess is that I may be missing some #define
BOOST_SOME_MAGIC_NEW_OPTION

//////////////////////////// pseduo code: ////////////////////////////
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( MyTestClass_Serialization )
{
    boost::shared_ptr<MyTestClass> outtie ( new MyTestClass() );
    boost::shared_ptr<MyTestClass> innie;

    std::ofstream os( "MyTestClass_Serialization.xml", std::ios_base::out );
    my_pack< MyTestClass >( os, outtie );
    os.close();

    std::ifstream is( "MyTestClass_Serialization.xml", std::ios_base::in );
    my_unpack< MyTestClass >( is, innie );
    is.close();

    BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW();
}
