A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It's possible to clone a thread by creating a subclass of Thread
that override clone(). A thread and its clone share the same thread id.

I think that Thread.clone() must be ovverride to :
solution 1: prohibit clone() by returns a CloneNotSupported exception
solution 2 : call nextThreadID() to update the thread id.

The solution 2 avoid to breaks code that already clone threads.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a subclass of thread
Make it Cloneable
Override clone()
Create a thread, clone it
start the two
they have the same thread id (getId())

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
8567361 5 7
9584176 5 8
ACTUAL -
8567361 5 7
9584176 5 7


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
