[Boost-users] Serialization "stream error" when using binary_iarchive/binary_oarchive & make_binary_object, but xml_iarchive & text_iarchive suceeds

I've been scratching my head trying to figure this one out for a few days.
My code serializes xml_iarchive & text_iarchive with no problems, however,
when I substitute the binary_iarchive I get a "stream error" serialization
exception thrown during the make_binary_object call when reading a binary
file:

        template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned
int)
        {
                ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(CImageDataBase2D);

                if (Archive::is_loading::value)
                {
                        Alloc();
                }

                //ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("ImageData",
boost::serialization::make_binary_object(m_pData, sizeof(T)*m_x*m_y));

                const int blobSize=sizeof(T)*m_x*m_y;
                _ASSERTE(blobSize);
                ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("ImageData",
boost::serialization::make_binary_object(m_pData, blobSize));
        }

I've tried to excise the relevant code to a console project, however, it has
tentacles and will take a few more days. In the mean time I would appreciate
help from anyone that might have a suggestion.

I've looked at the code and can find nothing wrong, as I said, ASCII and XML
serialization works flawlessly

I'm using Visual Studio 8 with Boost 1.33.1.
