/**
* 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.
