Error when exiting app with -DNDEBUG but OK with -g

[Steven Boswell II]

In my experience, if you run your program with gdb, and type "break abort" before you type "run", gdb will catch the problem.

With the little information you've provided it's hard to guess what
might be going wrong. However, I've seen this popup before. It gets
triggered when the abort() function gets called. Perhaps this is also
the case with your package? You could try to debug this on a native
Windows environment with WinDBG (gdb isn't able to catch these kind of
situations properly yet).
