/**
* An instance of ThreadDeath
is thrown in the victim
* thread when the stop
method with zero arguments in
* class Thread
is called.
*
* An application should catch instances of this class only if it
* must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If
* ThreadDeath
is caught by a method, it is important
* that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.
*
* The top-level error handler does not print out a message if
* ThreadDeath
is never caught.
*
* The class ThreadDeath
is specifically a subclass of
* Error
rather than Exception
, even though
* it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications
* catch all occurrences of Exception
and then discard
* the exception.
