+ *       stream is primitive data.  In this case, the OptionalDataException's

+ *       immediately readable from the stream, and the eof field is set to
+ *       false.
+ *
+ *   <li>An attempt was made to read past the end of data consumable by a
+ *       class-defined readObject or readExternal method.  In this case, the
+ *       OptionalDataException's eof field is set to true, and the length field
+ *       is set to 0.
