//
// In the documentation of Thread.stop(), it states:
//
// "It is permitted to stop a thread that has not yet been started.
// If the thread is eventually started, it immediately terminates."
//
//
// The following code demonstrates that this specification is not implemented.
// The thread t1 is stopped, then started. It executes to completion and is not
// "terminated immediately", as per the API documentation.
//
// To compile: javac Bug1.java
// To execute: java -classpath .;%CLASSPATH% Bug1
