Hello,
Confirmed twice. It does work with boost.serialization, but throws an
exception with mpi::broadcast()

/// receiver
Base* bptr=0;
mpi::broadcast(world, bptr, 0);

This throws an exception. See attached for the call stack.
derived is a class inherits from base.

somehow it tries to read something into the length of a string, but that
number if very large. That is just nonsendse.

regards,
