This means that the ArrayBlockingQueue could be modified whilst it is being written, resulting in broken invariants. The readObject() method's invariant checking is not exhaustive, which means that it is possible to end up with ArrayBlockingQueue instances that contain null values, leading to a difference between "size()" and how many objects would be returned with "poll()".

Thanks Heinz, I think this looks like a reasonable approach to handle the situation.
