Yes. this is problem of gdb and it failed to detect ebp based stack 
frame. if you wanted figuring out whether SIGABRT signal correctly 
points your code that called abort() then your post clearly revealed 
that it didn't work. and i can't say any external package can be used to 
resolve this problem.
