Signals that a Preferences method could not complete because of an implementation-specific problem with the preferences database. The most commonly used methods of the Preferences class do not throw this exception, and are guaranteed to succeed even if the implementation's preferences data is not available. Note that although this class inherits the Serializable interface, implementations are not actually required to be serializable.
