Referencing by ObjectOutputStream. The second time you serialize the
object out over the stream, ObjectOutputStream replaces it with a
reference back to the one it just sent. In one of the older JVMs, this
kept things that were serialized from being garbage collected, although
that's been fixed now.

I am working on my RMI implementation and I was using the
ObjectOutputStream. I made a function serialize that I used to find
the length of the outbound data. Then I wrote the same object to a
socket. The sizes where different ?!? Anyone have any idea why?
