Win32 only: Thread.isAlive() does not return boolean true, it returns a non-falsep value.
Therefore Thread.isAlive() == true always returns false.

Steps to reproduce:
Compile and run the attached code.

import java.io.*;

public class ThreadAliveTest
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
       task theTask = new task();
  
       theTask.start();

       boolean result;

       result = theTask.isAlive();

       System.out.println("result is supposedly " + result);

       if (result == false)
          System.out.println("result is false");
       else
          System.out.println("result is not false");

       if (result == true)
          System.out.println("result is true");
       else
          System.out.println("result is not true");
    
       if (result)
          System.out.println("result is close enough to true");
       else
          System.out.println("result is not close enough to true");

       theTask.stop();
       try
       {
          theTask.join();
       }
       catch (InterruptedException e) {}
    }
}


class task extends Thread
{
    public void run()
    {
       while (true);
    }
}
