GStreamer should not abort in this case. You did not provide any details
of what you are doing exactly or how GStreamer did a 'hard exit', but
GStreamer crashing or aborting usually indicates either a bug in
GStreamer or in your application. If you think it's a bug in GStreamer
you should file a bug in bugzilla with more details so we can fix it.
