I found a workaround myself.

Our own archive was derived from e.g. boost::archive::text_iarchive_impl.
If I add the following code to its constructor it works again:

    if(0 == (flags & boost::archive::archive_flags::no_header))
         init();

I found this code in the text_iarchive class, which is derived from
text_iarchive_impl, what looks strange to me.

Is this a bug or should I use another class to derive our own archives from?

Best regards

Kai
