Summary:  Should Thread.stop() call ThreadGroup.removeThread().?

Original Submission:  Near the end of Thread.stop(), it calls:

  group.removeThread(this);

Since the VM is going to do this anyway when the
thread exits, this seems at best redundant.

Moreover, in the pathological case where the thread
actually catches ThreadDeath and then keeps doing
stuff, this is not just redundant but also wrong,
because the thread hasn't died yet, but it won't be
in its ThreadGroup anymore.

So this line should be removed.
