That looks like an accident. It looks like the intent was never to serialize an unchecked exception. When John and I talked about this issue previously, we couldn't come up with an example where you'd really need to serialize an unchecked exception. You could always either make it checked, or throw a different exception instead of the unchecked one. Are there any use cases for serializing an unchecked exception, or could we instead have STOB skip RunTimeExceptions just like it skips Errors?
