 * ObjectStreamExceptions was thrown during a write operation.  The
 * exception that terminated the write can be found in the detail
 * field. The stream is reset to it's initial state and all references
 * to objects already deserialized are discarded.
 *
 * <p>As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to
 * the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism.  The "exception causing
 * the abort" that is provided at construction time and
 * accessed via the public {@link #detail} field is now known as the
 * <i>cause, and may be accessed via the {@link Throwable#getCause()}
 * method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy field."
