There are a couple of places which might be good to look at here.
a) iserializer.hpp line # 190 b) iserializer.hpp line # 326
These two areas have borland specific code related to ensure that pointer de-serialization is instantiated. Perhaps borland has been improved so that it works more like other compilers in this regard. You might try tweaking these areas - using workaround borland version ... etc so that the more modern version uses the standard way. Let me know how this works.
Thanks for your suggestion, it did prove helpful! I enclose a couple of patches which cause some 30 tests to pass which previously failed. Let me know what you think and if you want me to apply them.
