When an exception is serialized, the information
necessary to do a printStackTrace is not sent
with it. (Throwable.backtrace is transient)
Consequently,

  ex.printStackTrace()

is meaningless once an exception is serialized.

It should not be transient; this information is
needed to allow reasonable diagnostics on the
other side of the wire.
