I don't know what is abort() on Linux, but I believe coredumps is not something you want to get while setting some environment variable. On Windows it outputs a standard crash dialog box, which immediately raises questions about Python stability and potential exploitability in this direction.
abort() is a C stdlib function that kills the current process with SGIABRT or similar. It's designed to draw attention to a fatal error. Are you proposing that Python should rather use _exit() than abort() here? Both forcedly shut down the process immediately. Christian
