I don't know, but maybe a thread calls the stop method when it finishes.  This
is some info

To start a thread, simply call its start() method. If you try to call a
thread's start() method more than
once, an exception will be thrown. To stop it, you can either use stop() or
destroy(). Stop() terminates
the thread and throws a ThreadDeath exception to the thread. This is necessary
because the thread might
be doing something that, if interrupted, may cause unpredictable results; for
example, it could be in the
middle of modifying a file or some other system resource. To avoid problems of
this nature, the
ThreadDeath exception should be caught in order to perform any necessary
cleanup before the thread
terminates.

Be careful when catching the ThreadDeath exception. When stop() throws a
ThreadDeath exception and
you catch it, you must rethrow it in the catch block. If you do not, the thread
will never stop!

Another way to stop a thread is to call its destroy() method. This method,
although not currently
implemented in the JDK 1.1, does not throw a ThreadDeath exception when called
