Does test_share_ptr included with the package compile and run with
your system?  If not, I would like to hear about it.  If so, check how
your application differs from the test.

This might be due to trying to serialize a non-polymorphic class
through a base class pointer.  Of course without seeing the source
code, there's no way for anyone to know.

No One has done it yet.  Feel free to upload you version to the vault.
