You didn't comment any part of my mail that proposed a fix for compatibility of archives prior to 1.42. Does that mean that you consider this issue solved or will you look into that later?
Actually I'm afraid to touch it. But I'm willing to take a look at it. Maybe you should add your patch and email (and maybe my response) as a comment to one of the trac items which touch upon this subject. Another benefit of this - and another reason that I left the items open is that other people how had variations on this problem will get notified when you append to the trac item and that might also be helpful.

I posted my analysis of the problem to this track item: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4660#comment:51 I will provide a patch against the current svn trunk next week. May be it will be possible to reduce the problem to archives created by 1.44.0. Have a nice weekend
