The recent updates to Boost.Serialization code in RC_1_33_0 can provoke a crash at run-time, as shown for instance in http://tinyurl.com/dwu78 (there are other, compile-time problems that I'm not addressing in tihs post.)

What are these compile-time problems?

As I'm writting this the report engined seems to be stuck, so I cannot give you an URL: CW 9.5 for Linux, for instance, fails to build the lib complanining about an ambiguous overload with state_saver (if my memory serves me well.)

The problem is located in reset_object_address. The attached patch to libs\serialization\src\basic_iarchive.cpp fixes the problem in my local tests, but as I lack the knowledge to be sure, I'd rather not commit it myself and let it be confirmed to be OK.

I've put the fix in my local system and will be testing it soon. I don't see any harm in it but I'm not quite sure it should be necessary either.

Look at it this way: before the updates to Boost.Serialization code 34h ago, multi_index->test_serialization worked fine, now it doesn't and I haven't changed anything in my code base, so... Of course, the possibility exists that I'm using your lib in a wrong way. Also be aware that I don't really know what the patch is supposed to be doing: I've just copypasted from the previous version of reset_object_address implementation and verified that the problem went away.

I looked at the files in multi-index and didn't find any reference to reset_object_address so I'm still a little puzzled. More information please?

In multi_index_container::load() (boost/multi_index_container.hpp) The error shows as follows: when loading a previously saved pointer to a tracked object, the returned pointer is bogus. Funny thing is that the object pointed to is *not* the one on which reset_object_address() is used. If you need more details on the problem as I debugged it, please tell me so.
