OK, thanks for the info.  I tested it out using einfo(), it does exit with an
error code, but it doesn't produce the line numbers and function name that
abort() gives us.  I am sure I could make it do it, but for now I will use the
error message + abort() as it gives me what I would want to see in a bug report
:).

V2 of the patch should be coming up soon.
