<p>
There are some environment variables used by GNUstep base, where
there would be problems onbtaining data from the defaults asystem.
</p>
<deflist>
<term>CRASH_ON_ABORT</term>
<desc>
The default exception handler will either cause the program to
simply terminate, or to crash - leaving a core dump. The
standard behavior is to leave a core dump if the library was
built for debugging, and to simply exit if it was not.
<p>
The CRASH_ON_ABORT environment variable can be used to
override this behavior. If this is defined to <em>NO</em>,
<em>FALSE</em>, or <em>0</em> then the program will simply
exit when an exception occurs. Any other value of the
variable will cause the program to generate a core dump.
