31: * An instance of <code>ThreadDeath</code> is thrown in the victim
32: * thread when the <code>stop</code> method with zero arguments in
33: * class <code>Thread</code> is called.
34: * <p>
35: * An application should catch instances of this class only if it
36: * must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If
37: * <code>ThreadDeath</code> is caught by a method, it is important
38: * that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.
39: * <p>
40: * The top-level error handler does not print out a message if
41: * <code>ThreadDeath</code> is never caught.
42: * <p>
43: * The class <code>ThreadDeath</code> is specifically a subclass of
44: * <code>Error</code> rather than <code>Exception</code>, even though
45: * it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications
46: * catch all occurrences of <code>Exception</code> and then discard
47: * the exception.
