It appears that the abort() function somehow breaks the resulting
corefile so that you can't do a post-mortem backtrace. I suspect that
gcc has figured out that the abort() function never returns, so it
doesn't push a return address onto the stack.
I've managed to work around the problem by doing something like this
to cause a segfault instead of calling abort():
*((volatile char*)0) = 0;
That produces a usable core file.
But, it would be nice if abort() could be "fixed" somehow...
