If you run from within gdb, then you should get dumped back to the gdb
prompt at the point of the abort.

    [shell]$ ${prefix}/bin/gnucash-env gdb ${prefix}/bin/gnucash-bin
    (gdb) run
    [gnucash output; you cause crash]
    Abort, blah blah.
    (gdb) backtrace
    [...goodness...]


As for a breakpoint ... there's only a couple of places that are
allocations of memory of variable size:

1/ gnc-dense-cal.c:recompute_mark_storage.  If possible, please see what
value of 'dcal->numMarks' is just before executing the g_new0(...) at
line 675

2/ gnc-dense-cal.c:gdc_add_tag_markings.  Please see what the value of
'num_marks' is just before exectuing the g_new0(...) at line 1572.
