     * <li>If this thread group has a parent thread group, the
     *     <code>uncaughtException</code> method of that parent is called
     *     with the same two arguments.
     * <li>Otherwise, this method checks to see if there is a
     *     {@linkplain Thread#getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler default
     *     uncaught exception handler} installed, and if so, its
     *     <code>uncaughtException</code> method is called with the same
     *     two arguments.
     * <li>Otherwise, this method determines if the <code>Throwable</code>
     *     argument is an instance of {@link ThreadDeath}. If so, nothing
     *     special is done. Otherwise, a message containing the
     *     thread's name, as returned from the thread's {@link
     *     Thread#getName getName} method, and a stack backtrace,
     *     using the <code>Throwable</code>'s {@link
     *     Throwable#printStackTrace printStackTrace} method, is
     *     printed to the {@linkplain System#err standard error stream}.
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * Applications can override this method in subclasses of
     * <code>ThreadGroup</code> to provide alternative handling of
     * uncaught exceptions.
     *
     * @param   t   the thread that is about to exit.
