Potential Serialization Issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use SerialiationHelper to serialize a trained FastRandomForest Classifier 
object

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

While it does serialize the object, it seems to also be serializing the 
instance data that was used to train the object. This makes the serialized 
files potentially very large (based on training set) and makes loading 
serialized objects take much longer due to having to load a training set when 
it isn't needed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.98 frf
Java 1.6.0_31
Weka 3.6.6
Mac OSX 10.7


Please provide any additional information below.

Most likely storing instance data in some variable that also gets serialized 
later.
