As far as I can see, `abort' doesn't generate any signal at all, it
just exits after printing "Abort!".  So unless RHIDE changes anything
in its integrated debugger, SIGABRT has nothing to do with `abort'.
In fact, I think SIGABRT is not generated and not handled anywhere in
DJGPP, so I suspect some screw-up with signal-handling code in the
program that Fred wrote.
