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