42 * ThreadDeath is thrown in a thread when someone calls <code>stop()</code>
43 * on that thread. <b>Important:</b> Make sure you rethrow this exception
44 * if you catch it. If you don't, the thread will not die.
46 * <p>This is an Error rather than an exception, so that normal code will
47 * not catch it. It is intended for asynchronous cleanup when using the
48 * deprecated Thread.stop() method.
