bug#16612: abort when calling suspend-emacs on mac os x (mavericks)

[Jonathan Payne]

I am running emacs 24.3.1. I am not sure this is specific to mavericks. I think it occurred on Mountain Lion as well.

When running emacs in a window, suspend-emacs really shouldn't do anything I suppose. But what it does do on my system is crash:

Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

I looked at the code and am not sure why abort is being called, so not sure what say about that.
