public class ThreadDeath extends Error
ThreadDeath is thrown in the victim thread
when the (deprecated) Thread.stop() method is invoked.
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.
