        Location on page: Near the end of the section titled "Stopping a Thread"

        "exiting" should be "existing", I think.

        Erroneous text [emphasis added]:
        "This condition indicates that the loop will exit
         when the currently ***exiting*** thread is not equal
         to clockThread."

        Corrected text [emphasis added]:
        "This condition indicates that the loop will exit
         when the currently ***existing*** thread is not equal
         to clockThread."
