 make an object with data like this

 $data = (object)
 array('primary'=>'blah','data'=>array(1,38243,238,'foo'));[[BR]]
 add_post_meta($post_id, 'testmeta', $data);[[BR]]
 get_post_meta($post_id, 'testmeta');

 You get errors of the sort…
 [20-May-2010 16:50:14] PHP Catchable fatal error:  Object of class
 stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/wpdev/public_html/wp-
 includes/formatting.php on line 1229[[BR]]

 when deserializing, you get nothing. If you deserialize an array of
 objects, you'll get an array back where the first value is the serialize
 with all objects replaced with "Object" and subsequent values containing
 serialized strings of the rest of the content.

 (Note: I put this in Post Types because I don't know what component meta
 is attached to. Please reassign bug if wrong.)
