Comment:

 We've just been discussing this on IRC, and the conclusion is that we
 can't stop `abort` from terminating the process; from the `abort` manpage:
 {{{
        If  the SIGABRT signal is ignored, or caught by a handler that
 returns,
        the abort() function will still terminate the process.  It does
 this by
        restoring the default disposition for SIGABRT and then raising the
 sig‐
        nal for a second time.
 }}}
