OK, this fixed it. I searched through my code for StreamTokenizers and found one that was a field of one of my classes, though it hadn't seemed to me like that class should ever have been involved in the serialization of "searchResults". Nonetheless, making that transient (as well as one other object in that class) did the trick. Thanks!
