Wot, no SIGINT or SIGQUIT? Be real easy to redirect _abort() to handle that
case...

By the way this would be unlikely to help me if it should happen that I was
having this problem in something I don't happen to have the source for, now
would it? As it turns out, I mainly have this problem while debugging, and
I'll be sure to take your suggestion as soon as is practicable... but on
the other hand there was nothing in my message to indicate that it was any
of my programs I was having the problems with...

Yep. Another point to Manx.
