Calling abort() instead of exit() will generate a core dump, allowing gdb
to be used when the client crashes. This is desirable for the following
reasons:
1. gdb can be used to inspect the call stack with far more detail than the
our quick stack trace code, and also allows the access to the heap.
2. Our SIGSEGV handler is unable to use debug symbols for shared libraries,
making it impossible to debug bugs involving drivers and similar.
This makes it a compile-time error to call a function that semantically
takes no parameters with a nonzero number of arguments.
Previously, such code would still compile, but risk blowing up the stack
if a compiler chose to use something other than caller-cleanup calling
conventions.
