in the following code, e.printStackTrace() does nothing on Solaris but it works on Windows XP.

class Death {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable{
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
                            try {
                                while(true);
                            }catch(ThreadDeath e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(e);
throw e;
                            }finally {
System.out.println("finally reached");
                            }
}
};
                t.start();
Thread.sleep(2000);
System.out.println("state " + t.getState() + "\tisAlive " + t.isAlive());
t.stop();
System.out.println("state " + t.getState() + "\tisAlive " + t.isAlive());
Thread.sleep(2000);
System.out.println("2sec later state " + t.getState() + "\tisAlive " + t.isAlive());
}
}
