What did you expect to happen instead? For the deserialization to spawn 
a new thread and open a socket respectively? That's generally not 
desirable or even possible (e.g. if the socket connection was inbound).

I suppose the error message could be friendlier, and be generated on 
serialization, rather than deserialization.

That will be fixed soon. Meanwhile you can find the documentation for 
the latest beta release at
  http://sisc.sourceforge.net/manual-beta/

PS: I propose we move this discussion to the sisc-devel list (cc'ed).
