That seems very strange. Is it repeatable. I wonder what theincorrect
argument was? Maybe the memory got clobbered somewhere.

probably wasting a few cycles reopening the archive where we don't need
to - it should only be necessary where we are restoring a data member,
ISTM. I'll look at that further.
