    Description

      The new version of ObjectStreamClass introduced in recent merlin builds does
      not declare an explicit serialVersionUID, which makes it impossible to
      serialize ObjectStreamClass.class between 1.4 and earlier VMs.

      (1.3.1-b12)
      $ serialver java.io.ObjectStreamClass
      java.io.ObjectStreamClass: static final long serialVersionUID = -6120832682080437368L;

      (1.4-b46)
      $ serialver java.io.ObjectStreamClass
      java.io.ObjectStreamClass: static final long serialVersionUID = -6539648802376000715L;
