Serialization of the java.util.Date class is broken in libgcj.
Although the "Date" class is correctly marked as "implements
java.io.Serializable", the actual data stored in the Date class is
marked transient! This means that the field won't actually get
serialized. Below is a patch to correct the problem. I could write a
small demonstration program to show the difference in behavior from
javac, if desired.
