This MUST stay.  The reason is simple.  A well behaved library will not
exit, or print a message to stderr.  However, because APR needs to
maintain backwards compat with Apache 1.3, when we can't allocate memory,
we print to stderr, and abort.

Unless there is another way to use APR and provide both options, the abort
function must remain.
