in the following code, e.printStackTrace() does nothing on Solaris but it works on Windows XP.

class Death {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable{
		Thread t = new Thread() {
			public void run() {
                            try {
                                while(true);
                            }catch(ThreadDeath e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
				System.out.println(e);
				throw e;
                            }finally {
				System.out.println("finally reached");
                            }
			}
		};
                t.start();
		Thread.sleep(2000);
		System.out.println("state " + t.getState() + "\tisAlive " + t.isAlive());
		t.stop();
		System.out.println("state " + t.getState() + "\tisAlive " + t.isAlive());
		Thread.sleep(2000);
		System.out.println("2sec later state " + t.getState() + "\tisAlive " + t.isAlive());
	}
}
