You're supposed to use Klasses.jar instead of Sun's classes.  (You do 
use the classes from JDK1.1.6 don't you, otherwise just forget I wrote
this :-)

The version of ThreadGroup.add(Thread t) in Klasses.jar would give an
exception (I think) with threads = 0 and works fine with threads =
(HArrayOfObject*)newArray(ThreadClass, 0).
