I already checked that before replying to you ;-).  The full list of
the functions/modules is attached below.

None of the functions seem to be relevant to your case.  I don't see
`putpath' called anywhere in the exception-handling code, and the
startup code can only call abort *before* `main'.  As for the rest, I
don't think you use them (`alloca' should be inlined and the library
version never used).  So I'm stumped.  I hope the debugger backtrace
will clarify things.

So it seems like NC is aborted after it redraws the screen.

Here's the list of library modules that call `abort':

  src/debug/fsdb/fullscr.c
  src/libc/compat/stdlib/alloca.c
  src/libc/crt0/crt1.c
