Thanks for your reply, Robert. :) However, I had already dealt with the trap by removing it from the code. (Yes, I know it is not recommended. Sorry for misleading you here.) Either way, once I get past the trap, I still have another error to deal with. It looks like this on my compiler (VC 8.0):

d:\projekt\boost_1_33_1\boost\serialization\access.hpp(109) : error C2228: left of '.serialize' must have class/struct/union type is 'mystruct *' did you intend to use '->' instead? d:\projekt\boost_1_33_1\boost\serialization\serialization.hpp(81) : see reference to function template instantiation 'void boost::serialization::access::serialize(Archive &,T &,const unsigned int)' being compiled with [ Archive=boost::archive::text_oarchive, T=mystruct * ] [snip 16 more template expansions]

This only happens with the pointer-to-pointer type, serializing the regular pointer works ok.
