Not currently, much to most everyone's chagrin.  It seems very likely, though,
that, at some point before gerneral availability of 2.0, the IBM kernel
group will make it possible for one thread to raise an exception in another
thread.  Then you will be able to kill off threads in a fairly orderly way.
