- * An instance of ThreadDeath is thrown in the victim thread when

- * but rather a subclass of Error because too many people
- * already catch Exception. Instances of this class should be caught
- * explicitly only if you are interested in cleaning up when being
- * asynchronously terminated. If ThreadDeath is caught, it is important
- * to rethrow the object so that the Thread will actually die. The top-level
- * error handler will not print out a message if ThreadDeath falls through.
