Ok I tried this and found:

a/  whereas 1.39 serialisation compiles with out _any_ warnings.
     1.40 has a _blizzard_ sorry I meant avalanche of warnings
      on building boost and on my application of the kind:

/var/tmp/ma0/boost/boost_1_40_0/boost/archive/basic_binary_oarchive.hpp:88:
warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
     This makes it extremely difficult to see my own warnings.
     Is 1.40 really production quality ?
     We have a policy of no warnings, so the obvious question now,
     is what release are these warning's fixed ?

b/ Still get the same crash on program exit.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

  Oh well! I will have to go back placing all the serialisation in one
translation unit
and stick with 1.39.

  Best regards,
