SoftException should implement getCause():

   public Throwable getCause() {
       return inner;
   }

(As pointed out by Ramnivas, misc mail messages, code comments...)

Using getCause() means the chain should print as expected in 1.4+, esp. when
SoftException is itself wrapped as a RemoteException.  Since getCause()
replicates getWrappedThrowable(), we could deprecate that, but we must continue
to support it to maintain upwards binary compatibility in the runtime classes.
