We appear to have a rather odd bug in serialization which is shown up by
Alias. While Alias works fine but is serial format is 2 bytes shorter
than JDK. Turns out that this is because we're interning the strings
and they happen to match.

So both answer are right and compatible - but the serialization form is
different though both kaffe and jdk should be able to handle both forms.
 I'm going to consider the interned form we use to be 'correct'.

Isn't compatibility wonderful?
