+ readObjectNoData. Correctly spelt serialPersistenFields as an array 
containing null appeared to be most effective, though implementation 
dependent.

Really the legacy serialisation mechanism should be extended with a 
@NotActuallySerializable annotation. Apply that to sun.swing.-, 
com.sun.swing.-, javax.swing.- and others.
