Can the behaviour of Thread.stop() be relied on ?  For an API that has been 
deprecated since the early Pleistocene, (and which -- if my very vague memory 
is roughly correct -- has never been implemented correctly anyway) it seems 
that implementers have the right to do practically anything.  It's not as if we 
haven't been warned.
