      According to the Spec's at the URL below. When a new Thread is started and
      ThreadGroup is not specified. Then the Thread should belong to the Parent's Thread Group.

      http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/html/javalang.doc18.html#2658

      This is not true in
      JDK1.1.6, JDK1.1.7, JDK1.1.7A, JDK1.2 RC1

      Steps to recreate
      1. compile Applet1.java
      2. Set Empty CLASSPATH
      3. use appletviewer to view Applet1.html

      The cause of the problem is in Thread.java. If parameter ThreadGroup g is null
      Then we should *ALWAYS* use parent.getThreadGroup() as the ThreadGroup for
      this thread, irrespective of SecurityManager is set or not.

          private void init(ThreadGroup g, Runnable target, String name){
      Thread parent = currentThread();
      if (g == null) {
      /* Determine if it's an applet or not */
      SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();

      /* If there is a security manager, ask the security manager
      what to do. */
      if (security != null) {
      g = security.getThreadGroup();
      }

      /* If the security doesn't have a strong opinion of the matter
      use the parent thread group. */
      if (g == null) {
      g = parent.getThreadGroup();
      }
      }

      /* checkAccess regardless of whether or not threadgroup is
                 explicitly passed in. */
      g.checkAccess();

      >>>> this.group = g;
      this.daemon = parent.isDaemon();
      this.priority = parent.getPriority();
      this.name = name.toCharArray();
      this.target = target;
      setPriority(priority);
      g.add(this);
          }
