using Thread.stop() is a bad thing!
try to use a boolean field (like private boolean mustExit) to verify in
your run()s main loop like

  public void run()
  {
   while (!mustExit)
   {
        <your code here> // thread is processing
    }
    <more code> // thread is out!
  }

i made a simple tetris and i use 2 threads and i think that this way
(boolean field) is the best.
send me an e-mail if you want to see it (tetris with code if you like).
bye.
