Something is calling the abort() function.
Since Fvwm is still running, it doesn't sound like fvwm.
When you "exec" something, Fvwm looks for the config command
"ExecUseShell" and then $SHELL, otherwise it uses /bin/sh.
Look for an ExecUseShell command, then look at $SHELL.
If either is set, try to use them to start a program.
Otherwise try to use /bin/sh to start a program.
