Given: e = EOFException, if I run e.printStackTrace() I get:

java.io.EOFException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.readFully(ObjectInputStream.java:2281)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readShort(ObjectInputStream.java:2750)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:780)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(ObjectInputStream.java:280)

When I log this same exception under Logback I get:

java.io.EOFException: null
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.readFully(ObjectInputStream.java:2281) [na:1.6.0_18]
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readShort(ObjectInputStream.java:2750) [na:1.6.0_18]
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:780) [na:1.6.0_18]
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(ObjectInputStream.java:280) [na:1.6.0_18]

I see two problems with the logback version:

1. It prints "null" after EOFException when an exception message is not set. I am expecting the same output as printStackTrace()
2. It is missing debugging information (file and line numbers) as seen in printStackTrace()
